Elder Syrup

Elder Syrup

Elderberry has anchored cold-season tradition for generations, and this syrup builds a full pantry around it rather than leaning on the berry alone. Elderberry-infused apple cider vinegar carries its own folk history for supporting the body through a hard stretch. Clove and cinnamon bring the warmth. Ginger works from the gut outward, the way it always has.

Reishi joins the blend as one of the oldest tonic mushrooms in the historical record. Echinacea rounds it out — the most widely used medicinal plant among Indigenous nations of the Great Plains, reached for at exactly the moment something's coming on.

All of it carried in bourbon-barrel-aged maple syrup instead of honey — real barrel character, and a syrup any age in the house can take a spoonful of.

This isn't a daily tonic. It's what you reach for when something's actually setting in — the first scratch in the throat, the first sign the body's fighting something off.

How to use: At the first sign of illness, take every 2–4 hours as needed until symptoms ease. Take straight or mixed into water, tea, or a sparkling drink.
