The main difference is that the DIY Kit allows you to prepare the syrup yourself and customize the sweetener. Unlike our ready-made Elderberry Syrup, the DIY Kit does not include raw honey. This gives customers more flexibility for different dietary preferences and needs, including infant-friendly batches without honey, lower-sugar or sugar-free options, vegan sweetener alternatives, and personalized sweetness levels. Both options use elderberries, aronia berries, and warming spices to support a flavorful, wellness-focused syrup experience.
