Elder flower comes from the Sambucus nigra plant and is celebrated for its delicate, creamy-white blossoms and sweet, floral aroma. These flowers are harvested in late spring or early summer and are widely used in culinary creations such as cordials, syrups, teas, and desserts. Elder flower’s subtle, honey-like flavour pairs especially well with tart fruits like rhubarb and gooseberries, and it is a popular ingredient in cakes, jams, and refreshing beverages.
Beyond the kitchen, elder flower has a long history of traditional use in European and global herbal practices. It is often included in homemade infusions, tisanes, and even as a decorative touch in baked goods. The flowers are also valued for their use in making elderflower champagne and as a fragrant addition to potpourri and bath blends.
When using elder flower, it’s important to note that only the flowers should be used, as other parts of the elder plant can be toxic if consumed raw. With its unique aroma, gentle flavour, and versatility, elder flower is a favourite for cooks, crafters, and anyone looking to explore classic botanical ingredients in their recipes and projects.
