Gummy Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, add the apple juice and elderberry syrup. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and whisk to combine.
- Place on stovetop under medium/low heat, uncovered. Stir constantly until the gelatin is completely melted (about 2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2 minutes before transferring to your favorite molds, filling up to the top.
- Chill for 1 hour and remove from molds. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Take 2-3 per day to help boost your immunity.
Syrup Instructions
- Place the water, elderberries, ginger, cinnamon sticks and whole cloves into a medium pan.
- Heat over medium heat until boiling. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, reducing the liquid by half.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes. Pour the warm elderberry liquid into a mesh strainer (over a bowl to catch the liquid). Using the back of a large spoon, mash the elderberries into the bottom of the strainer to squeeze out the juice. Discard the contents left in the strainer.
- Cool the liquid for an additional 15 minutes at room temperature. Add the honey and stir well. Transfer to a glass container or Mason jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
