Officially, this is not a tea. It’s just dried elderberries, but said elderberries saved my bacon this week when I was feeling just cruddy enough to whimper and whine, but not cruddy enough to officially call it a cold. Here’s the mojo I used:

Couple tablespoons dried berries
Around a cup of water
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t turmeric

Boiled good and strong 15 minutes, added a dollop of honey to taste. (Tastes mostly like raisins.) Seriously, I felt better overnight. Some heavy duty travel ahead in coming weeks; I intend to steadily dose myself with this beforehand.
