Elderberry flower syrup

Easy to make and refreshing, Elderberry flower syrup marks the beginning of the warm season in the canton of Vaud.

In the month of May, before transforming into clusters of small black berries, the flowers of the elderberry trees spread their fragrance. This is the time to take the time for a nice traditional harvesting family outing. As soon as the flowers are picked, they must be cleaned, the stalks removed and soaked in sweetened water. Everyone has their own favourite recipe (some people add lemon), but they are all delicious!
Once bottled, elderberry flower syrup is not only a delicious beverage but also used in desserts and cocktails with white wine or champagne! Diluted with water, this nectar makes a refreshing and detoxifying summer drink. In winter, it is enjoyed hot and helps to prevent colds.
