I was saving this for when I’m actually sick, but… couldn’t wait, apparently. :) I was craving something with ginger, because my stomach is a bit off. And I just found out the nurse I had as a roommate last week did in fact have influenza, so I figure my immune system can use all the help it can get! The dry tisane is colourful and cool-looking, with the all the elderberries and safflower petals. Brewed it smells… kind of medicinal, but not in an artificial way. The flavour is actually really nice – lots of flavour ane warmth from the ginger, which I was hoping for, but also some sweetness and acidity from the berries, and just a hint of eucalyptus in the aroma. I’m planning to try for another infusion, and add honey to that one, though it’s perfectly pleasant to drink with nothing added. And it’s probably placebo effect, but my stomach feels better already. :)
Update: yeah, it’s really yummy with a generous spoonful of honey added. :)
