Elderberry Cocoa Nib Tea Mix

ingredients:

  • 1 Cup dried elderberries
  • ¼ Cup cocoa nibs (also called cocao nibs)
  • 2 Tablespoons cinnamon pieces (chopped sticks or Korintje cinnamon recommended)

instructions

  1. If using chopped cinnamon sticks, prepare the sticks by pounding, crushing, or chopping them into small pieces (about 1/8 to ¼ inch in size). Take care if chopping cinnamon sticks with a knife, as they are hard and knives can easily slip off the sticks. A better way to break the cinnamon sticks into pieces may be to put them in a bag and roll them with a rolling pin, or pound them with a kitchen mallet. 
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dried elderberries, cocoa nibs, and cinnamon pieces. 
  3. Stir through to combine an evenly distribute the ingredients. 
  4. Store the tea in a glass mason jar or other airtight container. 
  5. To serve, use one teaspoon Elderberry Cocoa Nib tea mix for each 8-ounce cup of tea. Sweeten if desired, A teaspoon of honey is the recommended sweetener, or use your favorite sweetener to desired sweetness.
