You don’t need fancy supplies to make elderberry wine. Elderberry juice, distilled or unchlorinated water, lemons or citric acid, yeast (optional), and a little elbow grease are all you need to get started. 2. Equipment Equipment needs are equally simple.
Ingredients 1 3/4 cup dried elderberries 2 3 cup s water 3 1 teaspoon dried cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick 4 1 teaspoon dried cloves or 4 whole cloves or 1 drop clove essential oil 5 1 tablespoon fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon dried ginger or 1 drop ginger essential oil 6 1 cup raw honey
I recommend “cold soaking” your elderberry wine for up to 3 days. It extracts more color and body from the skins of the fruit, and is an excellent choice when working with blueberries, huckleberries, and plums, too. You know those big, burly Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa?
My husband, on the other hand, likes to keep a somewhat sweeter elderberry vinegar around for sipping and mixing in cocktails, so he will often double or even triple the amount of honey for this purpose. I suggest experimenting with quarter-size batches to determine what you like best!
