The many forms of Elderberry 🍇 - syrup, tincture, gummies, oh my!
Elderberry has been used for generations as a daily immune ally. At Mill Slough Apothecary, we harvest the cymes (or clusters of berries) ourselves, and prepare them slowly, in small batches, honoring both tradition and potency.
Elderberry is a great daily immune support and becomes a winter staple in the winter season. All forms are safe for kids.
The main difference is the herbal benefit based on the substrate used. The other difference is flavor preference.
🍃 Tinctures are alcohol based and will extract the maximum potency from the herb. This is the most concentrated version with an earthy-berry taste. You can dilute in water as needed. *Note that tinctures actually have less alcohol than what’s naturally in a very ripe banana or what your body can produce during normal digestion*
🍃 Oxymels are apple cider vinegar and honey based, with other spice flavors incorporated such as cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and orange. This is a sweet-tart taste and makes a great addition to tea or a mocktail
🍃 Syrups are naturally sweetened with honey and include cinnamon, cloves, and ginger root.
