Although this recipe calls for elderberries and yarrow, hyssop can be combined with any number of other herbs pairings to make an equally delicious tea blend.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup hyssop
- 1/4 cup elderberry
- 1/4 cup elder blossoms
- 1 tablespoon yarrow
Directions
- Steep a heaping teaspoon of the blend in one cup of freshly boiled water for 5-10 minutes.
- Add a touch of honey (or stevia), if desired.
- Note: When harvesting wild elderberries, make sure you only collect the ripe Black Elderberry, as the Red Elderberry is mildly toxic. If using fresh elderberries with dried herbs, use twice the amount of berries called for.
