Elderberries can be prepared as a tea, infusion or decoction.  Teas are made by steeping flowers, leaves and stems in boiled water for 10 - 15 minutes.  Infusions are similar to teas, but the herbs are steeped longer, in hot water, so that they are stronger than teas.  Steep for 4 hours or longer.  Decoctions are made by bringing roots, barks and hard berries to boil in water.  Steep with the lid on for a further 5 minutes.  It's important to ensure Elderberries are cooked before consumption.

Into a plunger, infuser or china teapot place a teaspoon of herb to 250mls of boiled water.  For full therapeutic benefit, take 3 cups per day for three months, otherwise enjoy a refreshing cup of herbal tea any time of the day.  Add honey, cinnamon, or lemon to taste if desired
