New Roots Elderberry Fruit, 50 g

Elderberries are an eclectic, delicious, versatile, and healthy addition for your pantry.

European-sourced, naturally dried elderberries have a distinct, tart flavour. They are great on their own steeped in hot water as a tea; or simmered and added to cereals, oatmeal, or smoothies.

Their unique flavour adds complexity and originality when cooking or baking. Simmer or bake them whole, or grind them into a fine powder for uniform flavour.

HOW TO MAKE ELDERBERRY TEA

Add 1 teaspoon of berries to 250 ml of hot water. Let steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain and serve. For stronger tea, steep longer, simmer on stove top, or use more berries. Soaked berries may be resteeped a second time.

Tip: Add cloves, ginger, and cinnamon; sweeten to taste with your favourite New Roots Herbal sweetener.

Do not ingest raw, uncooked European elderberries.
