While making elderberry syrup for my 7 month old, what can I substitute honey with? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure agave is a safe alternative, but I would do a little research to be sure. The other option would be to just add the elderberry juice to a smoothie. Your child won't even know it's in there.

I've heard you can substitute Molasses (which has it's own health benefits). I reduce the amount of honey and add a little Stevia with mine sometimes, although that makes the syrup a little more watery. But I'd try molasses if it's an age issue. Good luck!

I like to make fresh remedies myself. I purchase organic only. The receipe I use (but there are others) is:3 cups of water, 1/2 cup of Elderberries, 2 small cinnamon sticks, 8 whole cloves. You can also add 1/3 cup Echinacea syrup and slices or chopped fresh ginger. Place all ingredients in pot, bring to boil then simmer uncovered for about 1/2 hour. Strain liquid and press down on elderberries to extract any remaining juice. When warm stir in raw organic honey (use to taste) . There are varying recipes but this one works for me and family. I don't add ginger to my mixture because I make fresh ginger tea with lemongrass, cinnamon and honey. Good luck. I like to make fresh remedies myself. I purchase organic only.

yes, you have to get use to it, to mask the taste, take with honey. it has different uses, check the internet for infomation on it.

I don't know if this works for honey. Have only used it for sugar. I don't see why it would not work for honey also.

Taste is not bad, I sometimes add honey to taste better. You should try that!

I use the same recipe as Ritahib. If I don't have berries I use 2 bananas, 1tsp. of honey, 2tbsp peanut butter.

herbalicious listed everything. even with the preservatives, i have not found anything cleaner that an infant can take. i wanted ultra pure, but have no idea where to find it. definitely no clean iron sources anywhere. we had no reactions, baby dealt with it the taste well until he strated eating primarily solid food, but will still take them with some coaxing. i hope you find what you need bc it doesn't seem like anyone will ever make a pure vitamin mix free of preservatives or sugar. sigh. godspeed, and best of luck.

Take a spoon take what you want out and use it....You have the best honey money can buy. I keep the honey on my counter top will not spoil.

Hello, This honey appears to be more runny than raw honey, so you could dip a spoon in there and pick up some honey and pour it into or onto something. We hope this helps! Jessi V.

First off I just want to say I love this honey pot. The silicon dipper is designed to drop slowly. But if your honey is very thin you could have trouble with dripping. I have never used a store bought honey with it so I'm not sure how thin they are but I wouldn't think they would be fine. My 3 year old has no problem getting honey all by himself. This would not work for syrup tho unless is was very think.

I bought 2 dispensers for my daughter and her family. She states that she and her husband do like using one for honey and one for syrup.The 8 and 10 yr old children LOVE using them for both. The syrup (thinner) does come out faster, but the release is quick making it perfect for both.

Raw unheated honey will last indefinitely; I am trying to find out if this honey is in plastic or glass-I certainly hope it comes in glass! Julene W.

I have only ever used organic cane sugar, supplemented occasional with a teaspoon of unsulfured blackstrap molasses. I know you can use other sugars like coconut sugar, etc, though I've never tried. I've never tried with sugar alternatives, artificial or natural sweeteners like stevia, so I couldn't give you any advice there. Honey will eventually diminish the health of your cultures, due to it's natural antimicrobial/bacterial properties. One thing I will say, when brewing the kefir, the cultures will process the sugar that is in your mix: so even if you're adding a third cup of sugar to the grains, after 48 hours there will be less sugar in the brew. When you bottle it after the 48 hour brew cycle, then you can add whatever you want. It'd be worth experimenting with! good luck!

I add it to my smoothies. It has a honey consistency and taste. Not sure why it is called Jelly.

Tastes pretty good in my opinion...like vanilla and whatever you mix it w/if anything. I'm usually in a hurry so just dump in a few organic frozen blueberries or whatever I have. I also plan on trying a new one I just found out about called SFH...check it out at www.SFH.com

You actually can put it in normal cold milk. Just make sure you stir it well. :D I prefer using itin warm milk with some cinnamon and honey.Enjoy it however you want! ^_^
