Why We Put Elderberry, Cinnamon & Ginger Together
There’s something wonderfully old-fashioned about a little bottle of elderberry syrup waiting in the refrigerator.
At Trefoil Gardens in Woodstock, Georgia, we make our small-batch Elderberry Syrup with three simple ingredients we love: elderberries, cinnamon, and ginger. It’s a warming, flavorful herbal syrup made in the spirit of traditional herbalism and one of the botanical preparations we’re especially happy to share from our farm.
Elderberry
Elderberries have a long history of use in traditional herbal preparations, and they’re beloved for their deep color, tart flavor, and naturally occurring antioxidants.
We especially love elderberry for the way it transforms into something both beautiful and delicious when prepared as a syrup.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon brings warmth and a little sweetness to the blend, complementing the tartness of elderberry beautifully.
It’s one of those familiar kitchen spices that also has a long history in traditional herbal preparations. In our syrup, it adds depth and a cozy, warming character.
Ginger
And then there’s ginger the spicy little spark that brings everything together.
We grow ginger here at Trefoil Gardens, which makes it especially fun to include in our botanicals. Fresh ginger brings warmth and brightness to the syrup and pairs beautifully with the rich flavor of elderberry and cinnamon.
A little bit of the garden in every bottle
One of the things we love most about making botanicals at Trefoil is the connection between the garden and the finished product.
We grow herbs and botanicals here in Woodstock, Georgia, and turn them into small-batch teas, tinctures, syrups, and other plant-based preparations.
Our Elderberry Syrup is one little expression of that seed-to-bottle philosophy: plants grown with care, thoughtfully prepared, and shared with our local community.
