It is the time for elderflowers again. I love the smell of these little white beauties. When you collect them, bring them home and cook them into a syrup your whole house will smell like it. Divine! You can use the syrup in your water or beer to flavor it or pour it over pancakes or waffles. I like it most on top of waffles, that I have baked with an umbel of elderflowers and sprinkled over some powdered sugar. Yes, that’s a sugar overdose, but sooooo delicious!
Have fun collecting those elderflowers and cooking your syrup!
Love,
