I'm inviting you to stick around for 3 minutes of relaxation, to enjoy some tea made from the flowers of the elderberry bush. I'll show how to make elderberry flower tea, first from the fresh flowers and then from the dried flowers.
Step 1 is to get some good elderberry flowers. Check out my last video to more about that.
To make fresh elder flower tea, step 2 is to put a cluster of flowers in a cup. There might be a bug. Step one and a half is to shake that flower cluster to make sure to dislodge anything you don't want to drink. You can't wash those flowers because that would wash off the pollen, where the flavor comes from.
Step 3 is to pour on some boiling water and let it all set awhile. I admit I got distracted and it was a good 10 minutes before I got back.
Step 4 is to take out the flower cluster. If you have company, it might be better to strain the tea, but that's up to you. Let's find out how it tastes....
If you dry some of your flowers and put them in a jar, you can have elder blow tea any time. Check out my last video to find out more about drying those flowers. My elder blow isn't the prettiest, but that's because I let some of it dry in the bright light rather than a dark place.
Step 1 is to put some dried flowers in a tea contraption. The amount I'm using was good for 3 cups of tea. Step 2 is to pour on boiling water and let it all set awhile. I admit, I got distracted again and let this sit 15 minutes, so it was good and strong. Let's find out how it tastes.
I hope you get a chance to enjoy some tea from the elderberry bush, whether it's fresh or dried. I'm too relaxed to ask you to subscribe, share, or comment, but you could do that. I hope you have been able to relax a bit, too. I hope things are going well at your place. Thanks for watching. Bye!
