What is Elderberry Cordial?

Just what is Elderberry Cordial? For that matter, what is a cordial?

Typically, cordials are very sweet, distilled spirits that are dessert-like. Recipes for cordial traditionally include various berries, fruits, flowers, citrus, or other flavors, along with a generous amount of sweetener such as sugar or honey.

But a cordial can also describe a non-alcoholic, syrupy drink or sweet medicinal tonic. As a concentrated, sweetened juice, cordials can be added to drinks, ice pops, and even drizzled over ice cream. Our Elderberry Cordial combines two simple ingredients – elderberries and vegetable glycerin. It’s a pleasant, tasty way to get your daily dose of elderberry.

Why get a daily dose of elderberries?
