Elder Flower

This fragrant herb, also known as Elderberry Flower, has been discovered in Stone and Bronze Age excavations and was extensively used by the ancient Greeks.

The Elder tree blooms with creamy-white flowers in late spring, followed by clusters of purplish-black juicy berries in early autumn.

Due to its traditional use by Native Americans and its continued popularity today, Elder Flower is often referred to as the "medicine chest of the country people." We hope you enjoy this wonderful tea.

Ingredients

Organic Elder Flower (Sambucus nigra).

Directions

Good water is an essential part of brewing a great cup of tea. We recommend using spring or filtered water.

Be sure to relax! Some of the most enjoyable aspects of tea are the calmness and ritual that surround it.

This is a delicate herb and is more potent when exposed to high temperatures for a short period of time. So that your tea has its maximum medicinal properties and flavour, be sure that your water is at a rolling boil when you pour it over your teabags.

If you desire a medicinal tea, be sure to use one tea bag per cup of boiling water, cover and steep for 7-12 minutes. This is known as the infusion method.

If you desire a pleasure tea or quick brew, use one teabag per cup of hot water. Pour water over teabags, cover, and let steep 3 to 5 minutes to taste. Enjoy!
