Equipment
Ingredients
- 20 oz filtered water
- 2 TBSP dried elderberries
- ¼ tsp cinnamon (or 1 small cinnamon stick)
- ½ tsp turmeric powder (or 1/2 inch fresh turmeric root, sliced)
- 1 tsp raw honey (optional)
Instructions
- Put water, elderberries, turmeric, and cinnamon into a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes. This helps bring out the beneficial properties of the elderberries and reduces turmeric’s bitterness.
- Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Strain through a fine mesh seive and pour into individual mugs.
- Stir in raw honey if using.
Notes
For an iced tea, pour into a mason jar and allow to cool, then refrigerate for up to 1 week. Serve over ice if desired.
