Updated on 9 October 2026

• Makes: ± 750 ml
• Time: 30 min
• From: Sea buckthorn

Ingredients

• 500 g sea buckthorn berries (thawed)
• 250 ml water
• 400 g sugar

Method

1. Crush the berries with the water, or blend very briefly so the seeds do not break.
2. Heat to just below boiling and leave to steep for 5 minutes.
3. Press everything through a fine sieve, then strain the juice again through a cloth.
4. Heat the juice with the sugar until dissolved and boil for 2 minutes.
5. Pour the hot syrup into clean, hot bottles and close at once. A thin orange layer of oil on top is normal: shake before use.

Storing: Unopened, six months in a cool, dark place; once opened, keep in the fridge. Dilute with 4 parts water, or use in desserts.
