Wonderful Herb

People often just think about the berries when talking about the elder plant. The flowers are wonderfully medicinal. They are antiviral and immune-stimulating. I add them to tea blends for use when someone has a cold, flu, or fever. It's such a wonderful herb to have around!

Wonderful herb!

I love these little elderflowers. I plan on tincturing some and also making a cordial, but I used them to make lembas bread (as in LOTR) for a party I hosted and it was a great hit! It provided a nice subtle floral hint.
