Step 1: Combine the dried elderberries, filtered water, cinnamon stick, grated ginger, and cloves in a medium saucepan.
Step 2: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low.
Step 3: Simmer the mixture uncovered for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by approximately half.
Step 4: Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
Step 5: Carefully strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or a piece of cheesecloth into a glass bowl, pressing the berries firmly with a spoon to extract all the juice. Discard the berry solids.
Step 6: Allow the strained liquid to cool until it is lukewarm (not hot), then stir in the raw honey until completely dissolved.
Step 7: Pour the finished syrup into a clean glass jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
