• 2 cups fresh or dried elderberries
• 2 cups vodka
• 1 cup honey

1. Rinse the elderberries in cold water and remove any large stems.
2. Place the elderberries in a glass jar.
3. Add the vodka and honey and shake well.
4. Seal the jar tightly and store, unrefrigerated, in a cool place for 6 weeks, shaking the jar once or twice a week.
5. Set a strainer in a bowl and line it with several layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter.
6. Pour the contents of the jar through the strainer, pressing the berries with the back of a ladle to extract all of the potent juice.
