Elderberry Popsicles for Immune Support
Delicious and refreshing popsicles made with fresh elderberry syrup for immune support! These popsicles are perfect for immune boost and extra hydration during sickness. They are easy to make, with just three simple ingredients!
Equipment
- Popsicle mold of choice (see recommendations above)
- Small silicone funnel
- Medicine dropper or syringe (for correct dosing)
Ingredients
- Elderberry syrup kit
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 64 oz fruit juice
Instructions
- Begin by making your elderberry kit following the instructions on the packet. Be sure to sweeten your syrup with the honey or maple syrup while it is still hot as this ensures it will dissolve well.
- Pour fruit juice into molds (for silicone or plastic tubes I like to go one at a time adding juice, then syrup). Be sure to leave enough space for the syrup.
- With your syringe or medicine dropper, measure out the correct dosage for each popsicle and add to the fruit juice. Note: dosage should be on your elderberry packet and may vary by age. I do 5ml per popsicle for my kids ages 1-4. During sickness you can give a higher dosage of elderberry syrup so they can eat two or three spaced out throughout the day.
- Seal your molds and refrigerate at least 8-10 hours or until frozen solid.
