## About
Autumn, the first cold winds, and a pot of berries reducing on the stove until the kitchen smells of jam and spice. For generations elderberry has been gathered at the turning of the seasons, a hedgerow staple of European grandmothers who simmered the berries down each autumn as the weather changed.This syrup pours thick and nearly black, with a jammy sweetness cut by clove and a faint, wine-dark tang from the berries themselves. Zinc keeps it company. Tart, dark and warming, it is closer to a mulled cordial than a medicine.How to useTake a teaspoon daily as a matter of course through the cold months, stirred into a mug of hot water with a curl of lemon peel, or straight off the spoon. Keep it in a cool, dark cupboard and use it within a season of opening. It is a food-based syrup, not a medicine, and no substitute for medical care.DetailsBlack elderberry syrup with zincSpiced with cloveA dark, old-fashioned spoonful for the long winter evenings.
