You'll have to take us along on a sumac foraging video. We have the smooth here and the berry clusters are slightly less 'berry' like and more a fuzz head cone. I don't know what parts I should be keeping and maybe I waited to long to pick, there were alot of little worms in them :P
I split my syrup and in one batch it's just the immune boost and in another I will add Lavender (anti-inflammatory), Marshmallow root (helps with breathing) this one I use if you start to feel bad.
I only have a couple bushes and the birds LOVE the berries. Also, the berries often ripen at different rates. So for the last 2 years I have made syrup out of the flowers. It has helped me ward off colds more than once.
Can you pleeeeeaaassse tell us what cheese press you use and where to get it. Also, your cabinets I love!!! Where did you find the metal cabinets? I love you and your mom. My favorite calming and informative channel!
Please clarify. In the audio you said you use 1/4 cup of sumac berries. However, the recipe states three quarters cup. And the spices? Are they whole or are they ground? Thank you so very much! I truly enjoyed your videos!
I have dried and ground ginger, I have an herb garden planned (and maybe even a stone herb spiral) I am adding two raised beds, upscaled the quail (53 hatched last weekend to beef up the flock) and two rabbits for fertilizer and possibly future meat. Thanks for being part of the journey!
My favorite Elderberry syrup that I buy has echinacea and mullein in it . I want to make my own but I'm not sure how much echinacea and mullein to add . If anyone has any thoughts please let me know😊
Question - What can we do with the leftover elderberry mix after we strain them. Can we use them in tea? Would we store it in the fridge or dehydrate it or just put it in a jar with a cover...or trash? We don't have a compost pile.
I see that this is a syrup, I ended up making a tincture with apple cider vinegar. It will be ready in two weeks but I was wondering if you know if im able ti add cloves, cinnamon or honey once I extract the berries? I made it this way because of my grand children. Is cooking them better??
Im wondering how it would taste with some sea berries made into a syrup? The only other berries i have are black berry, raspberries, honey berries, and currants..
This is going to sound so silly, but are you talking about fresh ginger like grated or dried ginger root? Also, when you're storing the dried stuff all together, does it need an oxygen absorber or anything?
Hi honeystead. Do you make Kiefer. I would like to make the probiotic milk for my gut. But I was told that I could get sick or die from useing raw milk
I don't, but check out www.frontiercoop.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAlJKuBhAdEiwAnZb7lX-GqVw_BkREFgF0ylmUTrS-7dkF_aT6UtmYNWBJDd5Uyhl3s5vZjhoCBfwQAvD_BwE
How do you keep your syrup from going bad? I followed a recipe that used all honey and one that was 50/50 honey/vodka. the ones with Vodka look fine and taste fine except they are alcoholic a bit. The ones with just straight honey, pop their lids and when I open them, pressure escapes. I smell them and they smell fine and taste fine but keep pressurizing. I don't refrigerate them since I have a case of quart jars that I made. I didn't know how to pressure just the elderberries without freezing them since space is at a premium right now. Is this bad or do I need to add vodka to those that are straight honey?
Two cups of honey is a personal preference I'm guessing, for that amount of tea , correct?! And I think I would also put two cups for that amount of tea and if it's less tea put less honey. How long did you cook it for , 35 min? Meow
Hey, great video. I told my friends at homegrown passion that you might be interested in hydroponics, and you can reach out to them at your convenience.
Omg please how do you not put your hair up while in the kitchen, I don't know why that drives me nuts, I always put mine in a bun when making medicines ❤

Can you use less honey?
I’d love a video on you harvesting sumac from your property when it comes time for that!
You'll have to take us along on a sumac foraging video. We have the smooth here and the berry clusters are slightly less 'berry' like and more a fuzz head cone. I don't know what parts I should be keeping and maybe I waited to long to pick, there were alot of little worms in them :P

How much lavender and marshmallow root do you add?
Makeing this now..a extra use for all the elderberry.s i got .they spread everywhere..so there.s plenty..thank s .
We harvested a bunch of sumac berries for lemonade. I'm totally adding it to my elderberry syrup. Thank you so much for the info❤❤❤
We just propagated our elderberry today was a beautiful day so it was perfect day to clean up the elderberry trees 😊

The fire cider press
Used to make sumac lemonade. It is a refrigerant. Lowers body temperature in summer. Got seeds to plant on my property.
Oh yes!!! Very delicious 💛
Please clarify. In the audio you said you use 1/4 cup of sumac berries. However, the recipe states three quarters cup. And the spices? Are they whole or are they ground? Thank you so very much! I truly enjoyed your videos!
Oh boy 😋 Thank You 💖
Thank you!
If you hadn't made a mess I would have thought I was on the wrong channel 😂
that recipe sounds amazing!! i always just made mine with plain old elderberries. so excited to try a new way!
Ohhh it’s super yummy!
I use Astragalus root and then the sweetener I use is Molasses. Amazing flavor.
I also use these additional herbs in my syrup, and I love the taste! I think it tastes like gingerbread, with the ginger, cinnamon, and sweetness ☺️🫶🏻
Just decanted my goldenrod tincture! Wow! The herbal course is amazing and very confidence building.
This makes my heart soooo happy!!!
I have dried and ground ginger, I have an herb garden planned (and maybe even a stone herb spiral) I am adding two raised beds, upscaled the quail (53 hatched last weekend to beef up the flock) and two rabbits for fertilizer and possibly future meat. Thanks for being part of the journey!
oooo one of my favorite remedies!! i'm overdue to make more, thanks for the reminder! ❤️
I have a Peterson's Edible plants book. There is a lot of food out there.
🙌🙌🙌
I have elderberry tincture on the go right now. 🥰
For sure saving this video for later. Thank you for this.
I make my elderberry alot like fire cider... Minus the spiciness (kid house) really love adding nettles for iron support.
Yum!!!
Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for the video, I'm picking Elderberries today, peace.
Can you add anything to elderberry syrup? Great video
Love making Elderberry syrup! Where did you get your jar labels?
I follow a similar recipe but add 1 star of anise also.
ohhhh I bet!!! I would love to try that and maybe add rosehips!
Did you post the Elderberry recipe? I didn't see it? Thank you
If im using just straight elderberry would you leave it as 1 cup of elderberry or increase it to make up for the sumac.
My favorite Elderberry syrup that I buy has echinacea and mullein in it . I want to make my own but I'm not sure how much echinacea and mullein to add . If anyone has any thoughts please let me know😊

This mix sounds delicious, could you use it to make a tea?
How should raw honey be stored to keep it from crystalizing? The elderberry syrup recipe is delicious! Thank you!!
I see that this is a syrup, I ended up making a tincture with apple cider vinegar. It will be ready in two weeks but I was wondering if you know if im able ti add cloves, cinnamon or honey once I extract the berries? I made it this way because of my grand children. Is cooking them better??
How much would you advise taking daily?
Do you freeze dry the berries? Can I just dry in net dryer?
could you add Mullen for upper repository?
Where do you store it?
How do you dry elderberries withoit the stems being in there?
I am wondering how long Ginger honey is shelf stable?
Hi, thank you for the recipe! Where would this be stored and for how long?
I got it: refrigerate for about 2 to 3 months. Thank you so much!
Can you simmer the ingredients a second time for tea, for example?
Im wondering how it would taste with some sea berries made into a syrup? The only other berries i have are black berry, raspberries, honey berries, and currants..
Which elderberry do you grow and use for your recipe?
I grow sambucus nigra!
This is going to sound so silly, but are you talking about fresh ginger like grated or dried ginger root? Also, when you're storing the dried stuff all together, does it need an oxygen absorber or anything?
Somewhere I heard you could add bourbon to elderberry syrup to make it shelf stable. Do you think that would work?
Hi honeystead. Do you make Kiefer. I would like to make the probiotic milk for my gut. But I was told that I could get sick or die from useing raw milk
can you can the syrup to make it shelf stable?????
Ty. Do you sell the elderberries? Where do I buy sumac seeds?
I don't, but check out www.frontiercoop.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAlJKuBhAdEiwAnZb7lX-GqVw_BkREFgF0ylmUTrS-7dkF_aT6UtmYNWBJDd5Uyhl3s5vZjhoCBfwQAvD_BwE
I purchase from them when I need to!

You would need to do an alcohol base if you don’t refrigerate. You can always add the tincture to tea to dilute the alcohol flavor
@andreacremeans1055 Perfect. Thank you Andrea for the response. I did that with the first batch. Will retrofit the current batch to alcohol base.
❤
Two cups of honey is a personal preference I'm guessing, for that amount of tea , correct?! And I think I would also put two cups for that amount of tea and if it's less tea put less honey. How long did you cook it for , 35 min? Meow
Do you ever use aronia berries? Are they as beneficial as elderberry?
I haven’t, but would definitely have to read more about them!
Can I use ground ginger if I don't have the cut and dried root? (I have whole cloves)
Absolutely
maybe just add a little less!
Just cinnamon powder and do you recommend the Ceylon?
You will be just fine!
Kaylee, I think I remember reading that anything over 180° degraded the good properties of the elderberry. Have you heard this or is it bad info?
In what form is the ginger and clove?
The ginger is the root and it is cut and dry and the clove is whole and dried.
Thank you so much for your quick reply. I'm going to be making some of this in the morning

Hey, great video. I told my friends at homegrown passion that you might be interested in hydroponics, and you can reach out to them at your convenience.
Ohh awesome! I’ll check them out!
I accidentally let my elderberries slow boil for 30 minutes instead of simmering-did I ruin the medicinal value?
Omg please how do you not put your hair up while in the kitchen, I don't know why that drives me nuts, I always put mine in a bun when making medicines ❤
Why so judgmental she’s not making it for you so don’t worry about it, you do you!
