Elderflower

Sambucus nigra (flower) | Seasonal Wellness · Respiratory Comfort · Flavonol-Rich · Naturally Caffeine-Free

Tastes like: light, floral, and honeyed with a hint of muscat grape. One of the prettiest-tasting herbs in the shop.

Most people know elderberry. Far fewer know the creamy white flower that blooms on the same tree, and that's a shame.

Elderflower has been a European seasonal favorite for over 2,500 years, brewed hot whenever the weather turned. Where elderberry is known for its deep purple anthocyanins, elderflower brings something different: it's naturally rich in flavonols like quercetin and kaempferol, and it was traditionally sipped hot to support the body's natural warming response.*

Why Elderflower?

How to Brew

1. Steep 1–2 tsp dried elderflower in hot water for 10–15 minutes, covered
2. Covering matters — it keeps the delicate aromatic oils in your cup
3. Add honey and lemon to taste, or chill it for a beautiful iced tea

Traditional tip: In Europe, elderflower is the flavor behind classic cordials and spritzers. Brew it strong, chill it, and top it with sparkling water for a refreshing summer drink.
