(Post-posting edit. I wrote the following paragraphs last night, clearly inattentively, because I didn’t actually tell you what I was drinking. ELDERBERRY. DRIED ELDERBERRIES. Good grief. )
Some travel and heavy conferencing ahead (it’s a little like Rumplestiltskin, they lock you in a room and require you to be creative until the whole kids’ curriculum is planned—straw into gold), so in prep for alien environments, I intend to be steeping a whole lot of this over the next couple weeks. Mema swore by it during cold and flu season and she lived to a very cheerful and perky 92.
These are just the bulk dried berries from local health store; they do a lot of Frontier Natural Co-op stuff, so that’s the likely candidate for brand. Steeped straight up with no additives, it tastes like raisins. I’ve had it with cinnamon before, tasty; and I suppose I could sweeten with honey. Other stir-in suggstions from the audience?

Brew it strong. Add vodka and carbonated soda. Possibly a touch of elderberry cordial.
Serve cold. Goes well with curricula magic.
Think if I tossed in some cacao nibs, I could get Raisinets? :)
Ah yes, my neighbor brings me Sambucus from the Vitamin Shoppe. Tastes likes liquid raisins to me!
