Elderberries are dried Sambucus nigra berries used in simmered teas, syrups, compotes, cordials and berry-forward kitchen projects. When heated, they develop a deep colour and rich tangy flavour that pairs especially well with warming spices and citrus. This smaller pack is well suited to trial batches, seasonal pantry making and home use where a large bulk size is not needed. The berries are typically strained after simmering for a smoother result.

♡ Why we love it: Elderberries bring bold colour, full berry character and plenty of versatility to small-batch kitchen projects. They are especially useful for home makers experimenting with decoctions, syrups and seasonal blends.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

The Best Flu Bomb!

I had a fever, a cough, a sore throat, and I I started drinking it twice a day.

Within a few days, I started to feel better. My fever went down, my cough started to clear up, and my sore throat started to feel better. By the end of the third day, I was feeling almost back to normal.

I was really impressed with how well the herbal tea worked. It helped to relieve my flu symptoms quickly and effectively. I didn't have any side effects from the tea, and I was able to go back to work and my normal activities after a few days.

I would definitely recommend elderberry tea to anyone who gets the flu. It's a safe and effective way to help relieve flu symptoms.

Measurements

If 1-2 tps go into 500ml of water, how much does a full box of elderberries make?
I used the box to make about 35liters of drinking. Will the elderberries be effective?

Decoction dosage

Hi, love the product, but I just have one question:

Can you drink the entire 500ml decoction at once, or should you dose it out to three times a day (so like 150ml or so)?

The instructions are a bit unclear to this.

Hi Joshua, its 500ml divided by 3 for the day (or just over 150ml 3x a day)
