Ingredients
- 5 tsp dried elderberries
- 3 tsp echinacea (leaves or flowers)
- 3 TBSP fresh lemon juice
- 3 TBSP raw honey
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- In a small pot add the elderberries and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 5-10 minutes uncovered. This step is important to reduce the toxins that can cause digestive upset.
- Turn off the heat and add the echinacea. Cover with a lid and let steep for 10-15 minutes.
- Strain the herbs out, pressing the elderberries as you do to extract the liquid.
- Stir in the lemon juice and honey.
- Drink warm or refrigerate and enjoy cold.
Notes
- This will last for several days in the fridge. You can also freeze in an ice cube tray for later.
- If using fresh elderberries, then use 3 Tablespoons.
