Elder Flower Tea
Herbal Tea: Elder Flower Tea
Elder flowers have a bitter and pungent taste with a cooling tendency. They cleanse the blood, encourage the elimination of wastes through the skin, and are a diuretic.
Ingredients:
1 tsp elder flowers
1 cup boiling water
1/2 tsp maple syrup
Directions:
Steep flowers in boiling water for 5 minutes; strain and add maple syrup. (Flowers may also be steeped in 1 cup of hot cow’s milk or soy milk, for occasional use only.)
