Elderberry Syrup: A Real Remedy from the Land

Elderberry Syrup: A Real Remedy from the Land

When someone in our home starts to sniffle, cough, or feel run down, we don’t reach for a brightly colored bottle from the drugstore shelf. We reach for what we made — a jar of elderberry syrup crafted with whole, healing ingredients from the farm.

Elderberry has been used for centuries as a natural way to support the immune system, especially during cold and flu season. Our version is steeped slowly with organic herbs, fresh citrus, and local raw honey — because we believe that nature knows best when it comes to keeping families well.

🌿 Why Elderberry?

Elderberries are tiny, dark purple berries that grow on the elder tree. They’re known for their incredibly high levels of:

  • Vitamin C

  • Antioxidants

  • Flavonoids (which help reduce inflammation and fight viruses)

Research has shown elderberries may help shorten the length of colds and flus and lessen symptom severity when taken at the first signs of illness. They’ve also been shown to boost overall immune function when taken daily.

We love elderberry because it works with the body, not against it. No chemicals, no side effects, no sugar crashes — just natural support that helps your system stay strong.

✨ What Makes Our Elderberry Syrup Different

This isn’t your average syrup. It’s handcrafted in small batches, using only real, organic ingredients — no fillers, artificial flavors, or hidden junk. Every bottle is full of:

✅ Organic Elderberries

The star of the show. We source only high-quality organic berries — never powdered or diluted. Elderberries are rich in antioxidants that help your body fight off illness and inflammation.

🍊 Farm-Picked Oranges

Fresh citrus adds vitamin C, bright flavor, and extra immune support. We use whole slices, not just juice, for a more complete infusion.

🍯 Local Raw Honey

Raw honey is packed with natural enzymes, antioxidants, and antibacterial properties. It also helps soothe sore throats. We never heat it, so you get all its raw, wild goodness. (Note: Not safe for children under 1.)

🌸 Organic Lavender

Lavender adds calm and balance — both to the formula and to the body. It supports the nervous system, helps reduce stress, and brings a hint of floral softness to the flavor.

🌿 Organic Cinnamon Sticks

Warming and spicy, cinnamon supports circulation, digestion, and blood sugar balance. It also pairs beautifully with elderberry and honey.

🌱 Organic Ginger

Ginger is anti-inflammatory, gently warming, and known for easing nausea and supporting gut health. It helps the body fight off colds and promotes healthy digestion.

🧪 Why Skip the Store-Bought Stuff?

Most store-bought “immune syrups” are made with:

  • High-fructose corn syrup or cane sugar

  • Artificial preservatives

  • Watered-down or powdered elderberry

  • Synthetic additives with hard-to-pronounce names

And often… not much actual elderberry.

When you buy from Belmonte Homestead, you're choosing a remedy made with real food, real herbs, and real care — not lab-made extras. Each batch is stirred by hand, sweetened with raw honey, and made in small quantities to keep things fresh, effective, and potent.

🥄 How to Use It

  • Take 1 dropper full daily for overall immune support

  • During illness or exposure, take up to 3 times daily

  • Add it to tea, drizzle over yogurt, or take it straight — it tastes delicious

Net wt: 2 fl oz
Refrigerate after opening. Shake well before use.

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Not for children under 1 (due to raw honey)

  • Always consult your doctor before using, especially if pregnant or nursing

  • This product has not been approved by the FDA and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease
