ELDERBERRY BLOSSOM ICED TEA (W/OPTIONAL ADDITIONS)

Basic tea recipe from ehow.com and elaborated by yours truly. *Be very certain* the flowers you use for this recipe are not sprayed with pesticides and are the edible variety! We grow the European 'Black Lace' Elderberry with soft pale pink flowers. A visually striking plant! Experiment with other additions to the iced tea-don't limit yourself only to what I have suggested below. A note that elderberry is a unique, *acquired* taste for some.

Elderberry Blossom Iced Tea (W/Optional Additions) image

Steps:

  • Pick fresh elder flowers from an elderberry tree. Remove the blooms from the stems and discard stems.
  • Place 2 to 4 fresh elder flowers in a heatproof bowl. (I tested this recipe using 3 stems of elderflowers and 6 cups of water).
  • Boil the water.
  • Pour the boiled water over the flowers to cover.
  • Cover the bowl and allow the flowers to steep for about 10 minutes.
  • Strain the tea and set aside to cool then refrigerate until well chilled. (Can also be served hot.).
  • To serve, pour the chilled tea over ice cubes. Stir in your favorite additions.
  • I floated a few of the individual blossoms on top of the tea.

Nutrition Facts :
