Elderberry D3fense Fizz

Add this drink to your meal-prep list by making the tea and ice cubes ahead of time.

 

Elevate this drink by making Elderberry D3fense ice cubes. Simply add an extra batch or double batch of the hibiscus and Elderberry D3fense mixture (minus the seltzer) to an ice cube tray. Make it even better by adding fresh or frozen berries like blueberries.

 

Freeze the ice cubes for four hours or overnight. Store them in an airtight container for up to one month. You can pop these cubes into drinks or a teacup or mug for a hot drink.
