Elderberry Spice Tea

Needing something to warm me up today so I decided to make some elderberry tea. Should really call it an Elderberry Spice Tea. I started with a couple of cups in water in a saucepan then added 1/2 cup of elderberry syrup, a cinnamon stick, some pieces of nutmeg, cloves, fennel seeds and a dash of cardamom. Let it come to a simmer and cooked it over low heat for 5 minutes. Strained it and ready to go. Super yummy and supposed to help fight off germs!!!! All medicine should taste this good . 🙂 You can sweeten it with additional honey- but it really does not need it. Feel free to swap up the spices. You could also add citrus peel, red pepper flakes, rose hips, turmeric, vanilla, allspice- well, you get the idea.
