Elderberries are an eclectic, delicious, versatile, and healthy addition for your pantry. European-sourced, naturally dried elderberries have a distinct, tart flavour. They are great on their own steeped in hot water as a tea; or simmered and added to cereals, oatmeal, or smoothies. Their unique flavour adds complexity and originality when cooking or baking. Simmer or bake them whole, or grind them into a fine powder for uniform flavour.
Ingredient: Whole dried Northern-European elderberry fruit. Does not contain any stems, leaves, or bark.
HOW TO MAKE ELDERBERRY TEA
Add 1 teaspoon of berries to 250 ml of hot water. Let steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain and serve. For stronger tea, steep longer, simmer on stove top, or use more berries. Soaked berries may be resteeped a second time.
Tip: Add cloves, ginger, and cinnamon; sweeten to taste with your favourite New Roots Herbal sweetener.
Warning: Do not ingest raw, uncooked European elderberries.
