Rowe Family Farms Elderberry Syrup: What It Is, What’s In It, and How We Make It

Posted by Jenny Rowe on

Why Our Elderberry Syrup Tastes (and Feels) Different

At Rowe Family Farms, we like to keep wellness simple: real ingredients, careful technique, and flavors you’ll actually look forward to. Our Elderberry Syrup is berry-forward, lightly sweet, and warmly spiced—made in small batches so every bottle tastes like it came from a family kitchen… because it did.

Quick note: We prepare each batch in our home kitchen. The workspace is sanitized before every batch, and we use separate cooking pans and spoons set aside for syrup production. Nothing fussy—just consistent, clean habits.


What Elderberry Syrup Is (and Isn’t)

Think of elderberry syrup as a gently sweet, berry-spice infusion. Many folks reach for it during cold weather and high-pollen seasons as part of a daily routine. We keep the language honest: no magic claims—just time-honored pantry ingredients prepared with care.

Our Ingredient List (100% Real)

Organic elderberries, raw honey, distilled water, organic echinacea, organic Ceylon cinnamon, organic clove, organic turmeric, organic ginger, organic lemon.

  • Organic Elderberries – Deep purple berries naturally rich in anthocyanins (antioxidants). People have turned to them for generations during cold weather and high-pollen seasons.

    Organic Echinacea – A classic herb traditionally used to support seasonal wellness.

    Raw Honey – Unfiltered sweetness with naturally occurring enzymes that rounds out the tart berry and warm spice.

    Honey safety reminder: not for children under 1 year.

    Organic Ceylon Cinnamon & Organic Clove – Cozy, aromatic spices that bring comforting depth and a naturally sweet finish.

    Organic Ginger – Adds a gentle, warming kick; commonly used to support digestion and ease queasiness.

    Organic Turmeric – A pantry powerhouse known for its golden color and antioxidant properties.

    Organic Lemon – Bright citrus to balance the berries and spice, plus a little extra vitamin C.

    Filtered Water – Nothing fancy—just clean and clear.

The flavor you’ll crave

Berry-forward, lightly sweet from raw honey, with warm cinnamon and clove, a ginger glow, and a bright hint of lemon. It’s comfort in a spoon.

How We Make It (Small-Batch Matters)

  1. We simmer elderberries low and slow with filtered water.
  2. Spices and botanicals infuse for depth and balance.
  3. We strain for a silky texture.
  4. After cooling, we stir in raw honey so it stays true to itself.
  5. We bottle, label, and refrigerate for freshness.

How to use elderberry syrup

  • Adults: Take 1 tablespoon (15 mL) daily.

  • Kids 1+ years: 1–2 teaspoons daily (caregiver’s call).

  • Enjoy straight, swirl into hot water or tea, drizzle over yogurt or oatmeal, or add to sparkling water for a mocktail.

Many folks increase to 1 tablespoon up to 2–3× daily for a few days during peak seasonal stress.


Storage & shelf life

  • Refrigerate after opening

  • Best within 3–4 months

  • Use a clean spoon—no double dipping
