    This Elderberry Latte is perfect for additional support during cold and flu season. It is sweet and fruity.

    I like to keep a bottle of elderberry syrup in my fridge for when cold and flu season comes around, just in case.

    Besides elderberry syrup, it comes in powder form, which I used here, and dried elderberries.

    It also tastes great in an Elderberry Smoothie Recipe and an Eldberry Kombucha Recipe. You can make it into tea as well.

    Other latte recipes to try are my Beet Latte and Tahini Cold Brew Coffee.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.

    • Ground ginger: I used ground ginger, but you could also use freshly grated ginger root.
    • Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
    • Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup, simple syrup, or your favorite sweetener.

    💭 Tips

    • Do NOT use a Nutribullet to blend hot soy milk. It doesn't do well with hot liquids. You can blend cold ingredients in a Nutribullet (or high speed blender), just heat it after blending.
    • I used soy milk because it froths nicely. You can use any plant-based milk you like.
    • Shake in a mason jar if you want it frothy and don't have a milk frother.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup soy milk
    • 1 -3 teaspoons elderberry powder
    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

    Instructions

    • Pour soy milk into a saucepan.
    • Add elderberry powder, ground ginger, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Heat on stovetop on medium, whisking the whole time to combine.
    • If you don't have a milk frother, pour soy milk into a mason jar with secure lid. Cover with a towel if necessary. Shake to combine.
    • Pour into a mug.

    Notes

    You may want to check with your doctor or do some research on whether elderberry powder is ok for you to take.
    If you have an allergy to elder pollen, you should not take it according to the research I did.
    Elderberry can cause an upset stomach when taken in large quantities, which is why I recently changed the amount to 1-3 teaspoons.
