Elderberry Ginger Syrup

Quarantini, anyone? Elderberry syrup is taken to boost the immune system. This all-natural DIY recipe pairs elderberry with elderflower and ginger liqueurs to give cocktails a splash of nutrients! Swerve is a plant-based sugar replacement made with erythritol so making elderberry syrup at home means you can control the sugar content. Cheers!

1 cinnamon stick
4 cups cold water
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger or ground ginger
1 cup Swerve Confectioners natural sweetener
