For a richer flavor, try adding a small piece of orange peel (without the white pith) during the simmering process. If using dried elderberries, you may need to simmer for a slightly longer time to fully extract their flavor. Adjust the amount of honey to your liking, depending on your desired level of sweetness. This syrup can also be used to make elderberry gummies or added to sparkling water for a refreshing drink.
