This gluten-free recipe uses both water kefir and elderberries, which are both good for your immune system. This drink is healthy and refreshing, and it's great for your gut health and overall health.

Ingredients: 1/4 cup water kefir grains. 4 cups filtered water. 1/4 cup elderberries. 1/4 cup cane sugar. 1/2 lemon, sliced. 1/2 inch ginger, sliced. 1/4 teaspoon sea salt.

Instructions: In a clean glass jar, combine water kefir grains, filtered water, elderberries, cane sugar, lemon slices, ginger slices, and sea salt. Cover the jar with a breathable cloth or coffee filter and secure with a rubber band. Allow the mixture to ferment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, for 24-48 hours, until slightly fizzy and tangy. After fermentation, strain out the elderberries, lemon slices, and ginger slices. Transfer the elderberry water kefir into bottles with tight-sealing lids. Store the bottles in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled and enjoy the probiotic benefits of this elderberry water kefir!

I was waiting by the road when I spotted elderberry flowers , and they were in the shape of a heart ♡

@totallyoffourgrid We went foraging for elderberries locally, to make elderberry syrup ready for the cold season. Elderberry syrup is great for coughs and colds! Remember to forage responsibly and never take to much of one tree/plant depending on what you are foraging for. #elderberry #elderberries #foraging #foragingtiktok #syrup ♬ original sound – totallyoffourgrid Recipe Ingredients: 500g…
