There is so much taste inside of elderflowers. Last year I dried about the same amount and my stocks go empty now. Time to restock ๐ธ No need to add sugar!! ๐ค

what are you going to do with them??
mine will be at this stage in another week.
plenty of tea. ๐ซ LOVE the taste ๐ people make lots of sugar syrup and I don't get it
lol
do you save some for berries too?
I mean I have still many flowers left that develop to fruit but idk how I would use the fruit
maybe soak them in vodka for a tincture?
will you do something with the flower or fruit ?
did you see that video going around of the fellow making elderflower fritters?
ill see if I can find again
omg I know that video!! thats wilddd! maybe I can try that out before the bloom ends
right?!
I can do tempura but that never occured to me before.
I gave up alcohol long ago but I could try...
maybe a mead?
Yum!! Send me some, will ya? ๐
One of my favorite liqueurs is st germain. I urge you to consider making some (I've not read details, so may be difficult)
Oh wow, looks easy and fast ๐

You just eat the flowers straight? Or like make teas with them or something?

for elderflower cordial? How about elderflower gin in a similar manner to how sloe gin is made?
not the biggest fan of syrup or alcohol :)
Wow! I've planted so many elderberries but none of them have bloomed, even after 4 years or so
You might have a new competitor

Let's go Franny!
I planted my first elderberry about 8 months ago in the Australian subtropics. It was a tiny little tubestock seedling & is now 6ft high with several vigorous shoots.
I didn't realise how cool of a plant it is. It's late autumn here & it doesn't seem to be going dormant yet.
How cool! ๐ช๐ gM franny ๐
