Enjoy elder flower tea, as people have since antiquity. Tastes great as a tea, especially when blended with mild teas such as chamomile, as well as in syrups, cordials, soup, wine, brandy and other beverages. Among its many qualities, the elderflower has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties which help ease colds, flu, and respiratory difficulties, and is thought to relieve allergies and boost the immune system. To make elderflower tea, steep two teaspoons in hot water for five-to-10 minutes. Comes in a 4.5 ounce container.
