Elderflower Tea

Elderflower tea is medicinal and therefore needs to be used with caution. The naturally sweet tea can be enjoyed with or without sugar or honey, depending on your preference. For each cup of tea 1tlbsp is needed. It is important to note that hot, not boiling, water should be used to brew the tea. To get the best results steep the tea for 5 minutes, strain and enjoy while still hot.

Especially during cold seasons dried Elderflowers can be added to bath water or to make a heat compress. Elderflowers have diaphoretic effects, increasing blood flow and sweating, which is great for colds and flues.
