Method: 1 tbsp, 8 oz, 205 degrees, 3 minutes, Forlife brew-in-mug strainer

Dry Leaf Aroma: Cinnamon and licorice

Flavor: Cinnamon and spices. Licorice. I don’t taste the fruitiness I was expecting. I thought this might have some sweetness from the elderberries, but I didn’t find that either. I don’t think this one is for me, as I’m not a big fan of cinnamon. Im a little sad because I really wanted to taste the elderberries.

I’ve been having some dried elderberries in this Northern Sweet Tea thingie of Brenden’s. I love their deep-syrupy flavor.

I’ll get some of that the next time I order from WP! On an elderberry note, I’ll be making some elderberry wine soon. Hopefully that will turn out to be tasty!!!

The Northern Sweet Tea is something you make yourself (if Brenden would put the recipe on his website). Here is the recipe:

2 teaspoons Golden Orchid
1/2 teaspoon dried elderberries
! Tablespoon maple syrup
16 oz of boiling water – steep for 10 minutes – add the maple at the end. Make it cold.

Did I get that right B?

Sounds awesome. I wonder if there’s any place around here I could find some wild elderberries. If not, I could get them online.

I thought you invented a new measurement. :p

MzPriss 11 years ago

No argument from me!

Haha! “! Tablespoon of maple syrup” that’s my official Maple measurement now, it’s so good it deserves exclamation point!!!!!

Sarsonator, i think they might sell them at health food stores, will check mine next time I go. In the mean time, I’ve been using blueberries and it’s pretty tasty!

Blueberries sound good, and I already have some. I have maple syrup on my shopping list, so I can try this your way!

I’ll check the health food store when I get over there. They do sell some dried fruits and might have elderberries.

That’s great, let me know :-)

They frequently have them in the bulk herb section as people use them medicinally as well as tastily

I will check and update. Thank you both for the suggestions!
