Seasonal Favorite: Elderberry Elixir - Concentrate for Adults
Becoming available Saturday, September 6th, 2025!
Our Elderberry Elixir is back in stock! Created with fresh berries from the summer. 💜 We riffle these berries off the stem, simmer them with organic spices and combine with raw wildflower honey and spiced rum. It’s probably the best elderberry syrup you’ll ever taste.
Elderberry is clinically shown to slow the replication of cold & flu viruses. Rich in antioxidants, elderberries are also helpful for maintaining healthy mucous membrane integrity, something to be mindful of for those prone to sinus issues after cold or flu.
A general daily dose to help ward off the crud d'jour is as follows:
-Adults: 1/2-1tsp twice daily depending on level of exposure
Elderberry is also extremely helpful during early onset of cold and flu. In this case, a general adult dose is 1/2 - 1 tsp. every two hours. If you are sensitive to alcohol, you can add the dose to hot tea and that will help dissipate the alcohol. (We also carry alcohol-free elderberry formulas in our Old Town shop.)Â If a cold or flu is in full swing, taking elderberry regularly can help lessen duration and quicken recovery.Â
Contains: fresh harvested elderberries* (Sambucus nigra), cardamom*, cinnamon, star anise*, fresh ginger*, raw wildflower honey, and locally distilled high proof spiced rum.*Organic Packaged in a reusable glass bottle. Due to alcohol and raw honey content, this elixir is for adults only. Â Â Best before June 2026.
