In reply to Catherine Sattler. It depends, but bacteria generally grow pretty quickly in warm tea. Some sources say tea goes bad after 8 hours at room temperature.

In reply to Becca Hill. General recommendations are 2-3 cups of elder per day as needed. You likely wouldn't get too much, but your body can only utilize so much of the tea's compounds in a day.

In reply to Adam. It isn't as potent but can be another way to get elderberry.

Is this an alternative to elderberry syrup?

In reply to Luti Erbeznik. Use agar instead of gelatin. Agar is made from seaweed. It also doesn't soften when it gets warm after it is set, unlike gelatin, which does.

I like the product and I add some honey to make my tea a litle bit defferent then I found it so nice. I used other brand brand of coffee before but now I use this and found out that it’s so good.

In reply to Margarita. The other parts can make you sick. You’re only suppose to eat the berries. Stems and leaves no.

I’m making the above recipe only I added 2 tsp of echinacea root and one tsp of rose hips. I’ll skip the honey and add stevia to sweeten it up. I bet adding licorice root would add a sweetness to this recipe too. Happy sipping and staying healthy during these times. ???

In reply to Katie - Wellness Mama. Hi! I followed the recipe minus the honey since I am on a keto diet. I am looking for the nutritional info for the elderberry liquid after cooking it in the pressure cooker. Any info on those details. Thank you!

This is at the bottom of the Elderberry tea recipe in the FAQs:

“According to Katja Swift and Ryn Midura, founders of the CommonWealth Center for Holistic Herbalism and co-authors of Herbal Medicine for Beginners, “Unlike some immune-stimulating herbs, elder is typically well tolerated in individuals with autoimmune conditions.”

Thank you for the recipes!
Did you know that gelatin comes from ears, hooves and joints of cows and pigs? If you did, that doesn’t bother you?

I ordered Sambucus Ebulus from Rose Mountain Herbs not realizing that Nigra is what is typically used. Is Ebulus as effective and is the taste similar when making the Elderberry Syrup? Thank you!

I started taking Sambucal Elderberry OTC dissolving pills every 3 hours at onset of symptoms. Yesterday morning. I bought stuff to make homemade elderberry tea, and liquid gold. I have been taking all of my supplements and using my neti pot. I even boiled oregano in my distilled water to strain into my neti. Pray for no brain eating amoebas.
Well, 30hrs into it I still feel absolutely terrible. Not even a little better. My husband just caught me taking dayquil and ibuprofen, and laughed at me because I’m always on my high horse about natural remedies because it seems he drinks that stuff by the bottle when he’s sick.

I was thinking of making a large Mason jar size batch for my diabetic fil. You think that would work? What about the powders in one jar and the berries in another? Thoughts?
