Elderberry Tea against Cold

Chef’s Handyman Elderberry Tea

When the nose is running and the throat sores than it’s time to fight a cold with hot drinks. My grandma always had recipes to stay warm. Elderberry tea is one of my favorite.

Chef’s Handyman tip: Elderberry Tea

Directions, place elderberry syrup or elderberry juice in a bowl. Add peppermint leaves and cinnamon rind. Bring water to the boil. Pour boiling water over the mixture in the bowl and allow to steep 5 minutes, then strain. Add lemon slices and if needed sugar or agave syrup to sweeten. Serve the elderberry tea hot.

Shopping list
Herbs: Fresh peppermint
Fruits: 1 lemon
Syrup or Juice: 10-12 tbsp. of elderberry syrup or 2 cup of elderberry juice
Water: 3-5 cups of water
Baking Ingredients: Sugar or agave syrup, if needed
Spices: 1 cinnamon rind

Very refreshing and another favorite is the hot ginger lemon peppermint tea. If no elderberry juice is available then the lemon tea is an equal alternative. Substitute elderberry for lemon, peppermint and ginger.

Have a great weekend yours Chef’s Handyman team.
