About elderberry juice

Elderberry juice is the strained liquid extracted from cooked ripe elderberries. This profile follows a plain unsweetened version made only with ripe berries and enough water to simmer them safely until they burst.

The juice has a concentrated dark-berry flavour with earthy depth and pronounced tartness. With no sweetener or spice in this version, its natural fruit acidity remains clear and direct.

The finished juice is fluid and opaque, ranging from deep ruby-purple to nearly black. Fine berry particles may give it a slightly cloudy body, but skins, seeds and stems are strained away.
