If using dried elderberries, give them a quick rinse under cold water.\n<li><strong>Cook the Elderberries: In a saucepan, combine the elderberries with water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. The berries should soften and release their juices.\n<li><strong>Strain the Mixture: Place a fine mesh strainer or a piece of cheesecloth over a large bowl. Pour the elderberry mixture through the strainer, pressing on the berries to extract as much juice as possible.\n<li><strong>Add Lemon Juice: Once the elderberry mixture has cooled, stir in the fresh lemon juice. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds extra vitamin C.\n<li><strong>Sweeten (Optional): If desired, add a natural sweetener like honey to taste. Stir thoroughly to ensure it\u2019s well integrated.\n\n<p><strong>Storage: Pour the juice into clean bottles or containers. Without preservatives, this juice should be kept refrigerated and enjoyed within a week.\n<p>This elderberry and lemon juice recipe is an excellent way to enjoy a refreshing and healthful drink at any time of the day. It\u2019s easy to make and can be adjusted according to your taste preferences.
