In the art of gastronomy, the real alchemy is in creating harmony between unexpected ingredients. One such delightful concoction is our CBD-infused Elderberry Syrup. Here, the deeply soothing properties of elderberries mingle with the calming essence of CBD, resulting in a syrup that is both delightful and therapeutic. Let’s explore the remarkable fusion of these two extraordinary ingredients!
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour
Yield: Approximately 3 cups
Ingredients
1 cup of dried elderberries
4 cups of water
1 cup of raw honey
2 tablespoons of CBD oil
Instructions
- Start by bringing the dried elderberries and water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat and allow the syrup to simmer. This process is all about patience; allow the syrup to simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour, encouraging the elderberries to release their natural juices and flavors.
- As the syrup simmers, the water will reduce to about half of its initial volume. At this point, remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully strain the mixture into a glass bowl using a fine mesh sieve, pressing the berries to extract every bit of their essence. Discard the elderberries.
- Allow the strained mixture to cool to room temperature. It’s important to give it time to cool down before adding the honey and CBD oil, as heat can degrade their beneficial properties.
- Once cooled, stir in the raw honey until it’s fully incorporated, followed by the CBD oil. Mix until you have a smooth, evenly combined syrup.
- Pour your CBD-infused elderberry syrup into a clean, sterilized jar and store it in the refrigerator.
- Your syrup is ready to use! It can be taken directly, drizzled over pancakes, stirred into tea, or used in any other way that you fancy.
