A Heritage of Healing

European herbalists have long valued elderberry as a winter wellness ally. The berries were traditionally gathered after the first frost, when their medicinal properties were believed to be strongest. Native Americans recognized elderberry's healing properties, using all parts of the plant in their traditional medicine. In medieval Europe, the elder tree was considered sacred, with the berries being particularly prized for their healing properties. Vanilla, originally cultivated by the Totonac people of Mexico, was so valued that it became a form of currency. The addition of hibiscus reflects North African traditions, where it was consumed both for pleasure and health benefits.
