It’s that time of year again cough, cold, and flu season. Never fear I have something that will help, Immune Boosting Elderberry Tea! This tea is quick and easy to make and packs a powerful immune-strengthening punch.
Elderberries are HEALTHY and include minerals like iron, phosphorous, and copper. It is a wonderful source of vitamins A, B, and Vitamin C! Vitamin C is much needed in the cold and flu season. It also is anti-inflammatory…Yahoo! *One Caution, if you have any autoimmune disease go very lightly on the elderberries and a little heavier on the other ingredients in this nutritious tea.
