Directions:
- Wash and dry the elderberries, place them in a pint-size jar or non-reactive bowl, and lightly crush using a fork or potato masher.
- Add vinegar and stir to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, occasionally shaking the jar or stirring the contents of the bowl.
- Give the mixture a good shake or stir and then strain using a fine-mesh strainer and/or cheesecloth.
- Discard the solids.
- Measure the liquid.
- For every cup of liquid, use 1 cup of sugar.
- Combine liquid and sugar in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Boil for 5 minutes and remove from heat.
- Let cool; bottle, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks (the longer it steeps, the more mellow the flavor).
- To serve, mix with sparking water. Start with 1 part shrub to 6 parts sparkling water and adjust to taste. The syrup may also be mixed with plain water or used in cocktails.
