Questions & Answers About The Sweet's Organic DIY Elderberry Syrup Kit

How Do I Use Alternative Sweeteners?

The instruction card on Sweet's DIY Kits indicates that you should add up to 1-1/4 cup of honey or fruit nectar to your cooled syrup. But, honey may not be the right choice for some, including infants.

Some alternative sweeteners measure cup-for-cup like sugar, so follow the amount printed on the card. Others tend to be even sweeter than sugar, so you'll use less.

Is Sweet's Syrup Safe For Me?

If you add unpasteurized honey to the syrup you make with your Sweet's DIY kit, the honey can be risky for certain individuals. Please consult your doctor before consuming Sweet's syrup with honey if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a specific condition such as auto-immune disease.

If you'd like a syrup without honey, sweeten to your liking with agave, erythritol, Stevia or alternative sweetener of your choice, including also fruit juices or nectar.

At What Age Can I Start Giving My Little One Sweet's Syrup?

Children over one year of age can safely consume unpasteurized honey. Please confirm the use of Swee'ts syrup with honey with your pediatrician.

If you'd like the syrup without honey, sweeten to taste with fruit juices or nectar. Many little ones like unsweetened syrup stirred into fruit puree or applesauce.

How Do I Store My Finished Syrup?

The Sweet's DIY Kit should be stored in a dry place. Finished elderberry syrup made with the kit must be refrigerated and consumed within 3 months, or it can be frozen for longer storage.

You may store syrup in the fridge or freezer in a clean jar, bottle, or container with a lid. If freezing syrup, leave at least 1” of headspace in the container when adding syrup. Allow the syrup to freeze completely before adding the lid. Consume unfrozen/thawed syrup within 2-3 months, and always keep refrigerated.

How Long Will Sweet's Syrup Last?

Syrup made with the Sweet's DIY Kit  MUST be refrigerated. Once a bottle is opened, we recommend consuming within 3-4 weeks. Unopened bottles stored in the fridge are good for 2-3 months from the date it is made. Freeze syrup in ice cube trays for longer-term storage.
