Not Your Grandmother's Elderberry Syrup

Sharp, a lil sweet, and deeply herbal, Elder & Lemon Thyme Elixir is a raw, living oxymel that's built for daily immune resilience rather than the medicine cabinet. Elderberry brings centuries of anti-viral wisdom. Thyme goes deep into the respiratory system. Lemon verbena and lemon peel lift the whole thing into something that smells like a summer garden and tastes like it means business.

Why You'll Love It

✿ Daily Immune Resilience, Not Just Reactive Support: Elderberry, thyme, and yarrow are long standing herbal allies for anti-viral and respiratory immune support.

✿ A Living Formula: Traditional elderberry syrups are boiled, killing enzymes and potentially degrading plant compounds. This oxymel is never heated. The raw, enzyme-rich vinegar and raw honey preserved everything at full-potency, and then some.

✿ As Good in Your Kitchen as in Your Medicine Cabinet: The tangy-sweet oxymel base was practically destined as a culinary ingredient. Stir into dressings, splash into marinades, or swirl into mocktails.

immune resilience straight from the garden

not your grandmother's elderberry syrup

Most elderberry syrups are boiled and sweetened with cane sugar for a longer shelf life. It's a time-honored method, though the process can denature some of the more delicate qualities of the ingredients. An oxymel takes another approach. Raw, enzyme-rich apple cider vinegar and raw Appalachian honey act as both solvent and preservative, extracting the benefits of each herb without heat. The result is something entirely different: bright, tangy, and alive.*

for your every day, not just the hard ones

The most powerful thing you can do for your immune system isn't what you reach for when you're already sick, it's what you do consistently, before anything's wrong. One tablespoon of this elixir a day keeps the anti-viral and respiratory support working in the background, quietly and continuously. That said, when you do need it acutely, bump it up with up to 3 tablespoons a day.*

kitchen apothecary approved

Here's what makes an oxymel different from any other herbal extract: it belongs in your kitchen. The tangy, herbal, garden-fresh profile of this elixir plays beautifully with food because vinegar and honey are, at their core, ingredients. Drizzle it into a vinaigrette. Use it to deglaze a pan. Stir a tablespoon into sparkling water.*

WHAT'S INSIDE

the benefits in the botanicals

Tried & True Immune Support

Elderberry

Elderberry has earned its reputation as an immune support herb with it's antioxidant-rich anthocyanins, immune-modulating flavonoids, and antiviral polyphenols. It's been studied more than almost any other botanical in the context of immune function and viral support, with peer-reviewed research showing meaningful reductions in the duration and severity of viral illness.*

For Respiratory Health

Thyme

This delightful garden herb contains powerful medicine. One of its most significant compounds, thymol, is a potent antimicrobial, antiviral, and expectorant that not only gives thyme its distinctive aroma, but also most of its medicinal action. Thymol has been shown to inhibit the growth of respiratory pathogens, support the clearance of congestion, calm bronchial spasms, and support the integrity of the respiratory lining.*

Vibrant Stress Relief

Lemon Verbena

Rich in verbascoside and other polyphenolic compounds, lemon verbena carries its own antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action. It's also a gentle nervine, meaning it has a mild calming effect on the nervous system. With chronic stress being one of the most reliable suppressors of immune function, lemon verbena plays an important role in this formula.

FAQs

What is an oxymel?

An oxymel is a traditional, syrup-like herbal preparation made with vinegar and honey. The name comes from the ancient Greek words for "acid" (oxys) and "honey" (meli).

We use raw, enzyme-rich, living vinegar and raw Appalachian honey in our oxymels. The serve as active ingredients, each bringing their own antimicrobial and immune-supporting properties to the formula.*

How is this different from elderberry syrup?

In traditional elderberry syrups, elderberries are often simmered together with spices like cinnamon, ginger, and clove, and then sweetened, usually with cane sugar, for thickness and shelf life.

This oxymel uses raw apple cider vinegar and honey instead, which act as both solvent and preservative. There's no heat required, effectively preserving the more sensitive beneficial compounds in the plants.

It’s lighter, more complex, tangy, and more herbal, rather than thick, sweet, and spiced.

What does it taste like?

This Elder & Lemon Thyme Elixir leads with the bright, tangy vibrance of raw apple cider vinegar, softened by raw honey and lifted by a floral citrus, verdant garden thyme, and a slight pepperiness.

It's not sweet the way a syrup is sweet. It's alive the way a good shrub or drinking vinegar is alive, tart and herbal and genuinely refreshing.

Can I take this every day?

Yes. One tablespoon a day is a good tonic dose, one that helps to build immune resilience over time rather than just reacting to acute illness.

When you do need more acute support, bump it up to 3 tablespoons per day, spread throughout the day.*

Can I cook with it?

Absolutely! The oxymel base is practically designed for the kitchen. Use it in dressings, marinades, mocktails, cocktails, and more.

Is this safe for children?

This product contains raw honey and is not recommended for children under 12 months.

For older children, consult your pediatrician or a qualified herbalist for appropriate dosing.
