I've made elderberry brandy, but I put too much sugar in it and ended up with a very sweet syrup. It was still nice, though.

I've done this. A clove or two, a cinnamon stick, star anise, it all works. Great stuff!

the recipes say about 500 grams per litre of brandy but i just bung loads into a demijohn until its a third to a half full pour a load of sugar in about 250 grams or so for now then put 2 bottles of cheap brandy in it with half a bottle of vodka. add sugar to taste as it matures
