Pro tips

  • If you want to sweeten it, try adding some raw honey, maple syrup or agave — but be sure to go easy on it!

  • If you want to use fresh elderberries instead of using an extract, you will need about 2.25oz of fresh berries per serving of this recipe. Freeze them, then thaw before putting them in your juice press, as this will increase the juice yield and ensure it will make the 1oz of juice needed for this recipe.
