Well what a surprise! I feel so foolish thinking these were elderberry. I've been using 6cups of what I thought was elderberry with 6cups of water adding 2 cinnamon sticks and a thumb size piece of ginger. I reduce this down in half, cool to 165F then add 20oz of raw honey. I've putting 2 tblsp of this syrup on my homemade greek yogurt for 2 years. Last fall on my wellness check my BP was 120/64 and I ask for them to recheck because I was in awe. My BP has been elevated since my early 20's to a range of systolic 140-170 over 75-90 diastolic. I have no idea if the poke syrup is the reason but I'm going to discontinue use after researching the poke berry. I'll keep an eye on my BP to see if it goes back up. I'll also save the vacuumed sealed bags of berries I so meticulously picked and stored.
