Discover the revitalizing and flavorful Elderberry Tea infused with the goodness of fresh blackberries, bing cherries and blood orange juice. When making this immune-boosting Elderberry Drink, our choice of ingredients includes the organic dried Elderberries, along with fresh fruits and Manuka raw honey. Importantly, when choosing the Manuka honey be sure it’s either New Zealand or Australian as the honey comes from specific plants. They can be relatively cheap or expensive. The Manukora Raw Manuka Honey we use is quite expensive but it’s less sweet. Or opt for a cheeper version like the Manukora Raw Honey with a MGO 50+.
When making this Immune-Boosting Elderberry Drink, begin with boiling water in a glass tea pot or small saucepan. Importantly, the dried elderberries are dumped into the hot liquid (off the heat) and steep for 10-minutes. Subsequently, the elderberry tea is added to a vitamix blender along with the fresh blackberries, pitted cherries, freshly squeezed blood orange juice and the honey. After blending, the mixture is strained and it’s ready for enjoyment. Moreover, the resulting liquid works as a warm cup of tea or enjoy over ice for a refreshing drink.
