Serves 1
Ingredients
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 Tbls. dried elderberries or Goji berries
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 Tbls. apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1-2 tsp. raw honey
- 1/8th tsp. ground or fresh ginger
Directions
- Simmer & Steep. Get water boiling then turn down to a low simmer in a small pot and add dried berries & cinnamon stick. Let simmer 10-15 minutes then turn off heat and let steep another 5-10 minutes.
- Strain. Strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer into mug.
- Mix & Enjoy. Add remaining ingredients in desired amounts and stir well until honey is dissolved. Take a big intale of the steam as you enjoy.
Notes
- If the initial simmer process is too long or you cannot access the dried berries, use a pre-made elderberry tea mix such as Yogi Immune & Stress Tea or Traditional Medicinals Immune Zoom as the base tea instead.
- You can easily double or triple the initial tea batch and save the base tea in the refrigerator to be re-heated and prepared later and save yourself the simmer time.
