Elderflowers

Elderflowers appear in spring time and are wonderful as Cordials, Champagnes and wines.
Here's a few tips to help you harvest and process them.

  1. Don't pick Elderflowers until they give off that wonderful unique pungent aroma
  2. Snip of the elderflower where the stalks branch to make the frond
  3. Remove the flowers from the frond using a simple fork
  4. Remember removing elderflowers means you won't get the elderberries later in the year :(
