Black Elderberry glycerite has a sweet, tart and fruity taste. One delicious way to take it all winter long is in warm water. Adding a bit of local honey plays up Black Elderberry’s sweet side, while a squeeze of lemon offers a hint of sour tang. Since this drink uses warm — not boiling — water, it only takes a couple of minutes to prepare.
