How people cook with it
This tea is perfect for a relaxing moment or a gentle start to your day. It can be enjoyed hot or cold.
- Hot tea on a cool evening
- Iced tea for a summer day

- A refreshing mixer for mocktails
To prepare a hot cup, place one tea bag in a mug and pour freshly boiled water over it. Allow it to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch by using two tea bags per cup of hot water, let it cool, and then pour over ice. You can add a slice of lemon or a touch of honey to enhance the flavor. It is also lovely served at room temperature.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a pure strawberry tea, the addition of elderberry provides a more complex flavor profile with a subtle tartness that balances the sweetness. It offers a deeper, more nuanced fruitiness than single-fruit infusions, creating a well-rounded taste experience.
Who it is for
Anyone seeking a naturally flavored, caffeine-free beverage for moments of relaxation or refreshment.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, keep the tea box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure the box is closed tightly to preserve the freshness and aroma of the tea bags. This will help maintain the quality of the tea for future use.
