My Herbs Elderberry Tea

Ripe elderberries are nearly black in colour and taste deliciously sweet and sour when used as tea. Elderberry tea develops a lovely dark colour when infused in hot water.

Important: Be sure to pour boiling hot water over the tea. Elderberries contain the toxin sambunigrin which degrades completely when exposed to temperatures above 76.3°C.

Tip: Lemon juice and honey complement the sweet-sour taste of the berries perfectly. If you want to try a different way to sweeten your tea, you can try adding some dandelion blossom syrup.

The manufacturer recommends 1-2 teaspoons per cup for preparation. Pour boiling water on top, cover and let stand for at least 15 minutes. Suitable for a second infusion.

Store cool and dry.
