Winter Huckleberry (Vaccinium Elliott) is one of those plants that most people walk right past — a native Southern shrub that's been used quietly in folk medicine for generations. We harvest the woody stems and branches right here in Alabama, cut them into small sticks, and dry them slowly to preserve their natural compounds.

To make the tea, you simply simmer a few sticks in water for 15–20 minutes and let the woody, slightly sweet flavor develop. It's a traditional preparation — nothing processed, nothing extracted, just the plant doing what it's always done.

This is a good one for people who want to work with native plants in their simplest form. You get the sticks and brewing instructions. The rest is up to you and the plant.
