I love elderflowers. I love them infused in vinegar and I love them as a simple syrup to be added to fizzy water or in a cocktail or drizzled on a dessert. I stumbled upon the flavour in my early twenties when I randomly bought a bottle of simple syrup to try, attracted as much by the green glass bottle as I was by the name. Floral flavour profiles are one of my top tastes and I am very excited by this elderflower simple syrup. I tried this recipe from love & olive oil, I had a little taste and the flavour is already intense. I’m really looking forward to tasting it again in a few days in a glass of fizzy water!
PS - came across this excellent foraging website a few days ago, thought I would share it here!
