Some high-intensity activity and travel ahead in a few weeks; prepping with a steady stream of vitamins and immunity boosters. So bulk dried elderberries caught my eye at Fox Farm this afternoon. My mema swears by elderberry extract. Brought home a cheap trial ounce. They smell like raisins. I tossed about 1/2 teaspoon in with a cup of plain loose leaf Ceylon. It tasted just a little deeper/darker with some raisin-ness in the background…may try the next spoonful straight up, or with some cocoa nibs. It can’t hurt…
This is You :-D

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.

I drink elderberry tea all the time. 1T x 8oz for 5 – 10 minutes, that’s my preferred parameters :)
i’ve heard good things about elderberry, I should try it.
