Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small pot. You'll notice the berries instantly start releasing their color.

- Once the tea is finished simmering, turn off the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass and enjoy!

Notes
- This is the brand of organic dried elderberries I buy. And it's usually enough to last the entire cold and flu season!
- The elderberry tea gets deeper and darker in color the longer you boil it.
