Pour the water into a medium saucepan and add the elderberries, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce to a simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until the liquid has reduced by almost half.
Remove from heat and let cool until it is cool enough to be handled.
Mash the berries carefully using a spoon or other flat utensil.
Pour through a strainer into a glass jar or bowl
Discard the elderberries and let the liquid cool to lukewarm.
When it is no longer hot, add the honey and stir well.
When the honey is well mixed into the elderberry mixture, pour the syrup into a mason jar or 16 ounce glass bottle of some kind.
Ta-da! You just made homemade elderberry syrup! Store in the fridge and take daily for its immune boosting properties. Some sources recommend taking only during the week and not on the weekends to boost immunity.

A great product. I was thankful to be able to order a bag when everyone else was out. So much more affordable to make your own elderberry syrup.

WOWW!!!!!
I am very impressed about the super fast delivery time frame. I ordered late at night on a Friday and by Monday morning boom!!! my package was already at my door steps. The berries are so clean without extra junk in them, I literally only found like 12 little(very small) sticks in the whole one pound bag so, I am very pleased. I cannot wait until I make my own elderberry syrup. Thank you so much, you have gain a new client here.

Delivery time was fantastic from NY to TX and product was just as expected! We use this in our elderberry syrup recipe and now that we found The Mustard Seed we wouldn’t buy it anywhere else.
