Instructions
How to make the best homemade Instant Pot Elderberry Syrup?
- Gather the ingredients - Gather the elderberries, the ginger root, cloves, cinnamon sticks, water, orange juice, lemon juice and maple syrup.
- Dump the ingredients - Throw in the above ingredients into the inner pot of the Instant Pot except for the citrus juices and sweetener.
- Pressure Cook - Cover the lid, seal the vent and pressure on high for 15 minutes, allowing the pressure to naturally release.
- Saute - Carefully open the lid and using the saute function reduce the syrup by allowing the syrup to simmer for 15 minutes until the syrup thickens. The consistency of this syrup will be more like a juice syrup and not like the store bought syrups that have sugar added to sweeten and thicken the syrup. This consistency works for us.
- Strain - Add the orange juice and lemon juice now. Then strain the liquid in a glass bowl, pressing the elderberries making sure you extract all the nutrition from them. Allow the syrup to cool. Once the syrup is completely cooled add the maple syrup and mix well.
- Store in a bottle or make elderberry gummies with this syrup now.
