How We Make Elderberry Herbal Tea
This blend is packed with roots and berries, so if you get the go-ahead from your doctor to make it, you’ll probably want to make a decoction. Decoctions are more time-consuming than a traditional tea steep, but they allow you to get the most out of your herbs.
- Measure out your desired amount of water
- Measure out one tablespoon of your blend per cup of water used
- Bring the water to a boil on the stove
- Add your herbs to the water and reduce the heat to a simmer
- Let simmer for at least 30 minutes with a lid
- Turn off the heat and let steep for another 30 minutes or so
- Strain the mixture thoroughly and drink
