Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, add water, dried elderberries, cinnamon stick and fresh ginger slices.
  2. Bring the water to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and strain out elderberries, cinnamon stick, and ginger.
  4. Remove cinnamon stick and ginger. Then using the back of a spoon, press elderberries lightly to release as much juice as possible.
  5. Once the tea is not too hot, add honey. Stir to incorporate. Test and add more honey if needed. (It’s important to add raw honey when the tea is not too hot, as the high temperature will destroy some of its nutrients.)
  6. Pour into individual tea cups and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have other health conditions, you need to consult your doctor first.
  • Add raw honey only right before serving.
  • Leftover tea can be cooled and stored in an airtight mason jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Add ice to make it into elderberry ice tea.
