Prepare the elderberries

• Harvest the elderberry clusters and shake off any insects.
• Rub the berries off the stems and rinse them well.

Cook the elderberries

• Place the berries in a saucepan and cook them down, simmering until soft and reduced.
• Elderberries must be thoroughly cooked as they are toxic when raw.

Strain into a syrup

• Pass the cooked berries through a sieve to obtain a clear elderberry syrup.
• Let the syrup cool slightly.

Season the syrup

• Grind in the cinnamon while the syrup cools.
• Once cooled a little, stir in the honey.

Mix the ice cream base

• In a bowl, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract and elderberry syrup.
• Whisk everything together until evenly blended.

Freeze the base

• Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker's freezer bowl.
• Freeze until completely solid.

Churn the ice cream

• Churn the frozen base in the ice cream maker until creamy.
• Serve immediately.
