European Elderflower (Sambucus nigra) comes from the elder tree, a flowering shrub in the honeysuckle family. All parts of the elder tree, including elderberries and elderwood, have been used in folk wellness and ancient rituals since around 2000 BC. The Celts used to plant elder trees on the graves of their loved ones, believing that the elderflower blossoms were evidence of happy souls. Ancient Egyptians would use elderflower infusions as face creams or add them to baths.

Although many studies are done on elderberries and their uses, elderflowers are extremely beneficial as well. They're traditionally used to support sinus and throat health during the cold and flu season. 
  
Flavor: Our elderflowers are mildly bitter with a light, earthy and slightly sweet flavor.

Pair With: Other mild herbs like chamomile or meadowsweet pair beautifully with elderflowers.
