I am sincerely hoping that my local herb shop does not run out of dried elderberries because I will be drinking this bad boy ALL SUMMER LONG – and kats and kitties – summer lasts a LONG time in Central Texas.
I make a quart of this a day and I drink it all and then hold the jar upside down so every drop goes on my tongue. I do not share.
This combination of my very favorite tea blend, the much-beloved Golden Orchid, maple syrup and dried elderberries is just the smoothest most lovely and satisfying thirst quencher I can imagine.
The vanilla fudge bomb of the Golden Orchid with the concentrated fruit of the elderberries is already amazing and the maple syrup makes it hum. Perhaps I should note that I never drink sweetener in iced tea. Yes, I’m southern but I dislike sweet tea. This is so beyond tooth-achingly sweet Lipton. This is ambrosia.

I also dislike sweet tea…but this really is SO much different :)
This sounds amazingly good. I will have to see if I can get elderberries….and Golden Orchid.
Driving to the hiking location now. Well, the boyfriend is driving actually. And there’s 48 ounces of this cooling in the fridge for when we get home! I’m excited to try it!!! :)
You will do the dance of joy when you do.
This is amazing. Never had real sweet tea, cause I can’t have anything overly sweet and I have a feeling it must have a ton of white sugar!
It does and it is GODAWFUL! For iced tea – I drink really strong Luzianne unsweeted with a big fat lemon or lime slice and sometimes a mint sprig. Hate sweet tea.
I have to go get a birthday card and run to a birthday lunch. I’m taking my Dark Beauty with me. I’ll check in later
I need to restock on elderberries, or else I’d be drinking this today. Luckily he herb shop is 5 minutes from my house…
Having this right now.
I am doing the happy dance….
Tole ya….
I never doubted you for a minute!
Any suggestions for where to get elderberries without an herb shop nearby? Want to try this. :)
I get mine at Cheryl’s Herbs, & although I can walk in anytime, here’s the online link
