Now it's time to enjoy the elderflower drink again, and we've been looking forward to it 😀
Elderflower cordial is incredibly popular in our home, so we always make a large batch that can last a long time. We also freeze our elderflower cordial so we can enjoy it even longer.
Elderflower drink is a delicious and refreshing drink made from elderflowers. It is one of the most loved drinks in Denmark and is easy to make. It consists of elderflowers, sugar, water and lemon juice. It is a great way to add extra flavor and nutrition to your daily diet. In addition to providing a wonderful taste experience, elderflower drink also contains vitamin C and antioxidants. On a hot summer day, it is a wonderful way to enjoy a refreshing drink.
The Shelf in the Garden
The garden hyacinth is a beautiful and colorful flower that is very popular with gardeners. It has large, white flowers that bloom from May to September, which later form red berries.
You can make juice from both the flowers and the berries. However, there is a big difference in taste between the flowers and the berries, but both are highly recommended to try.
The elder is also a robust plant that requires minimal care and thrives in both sunny and shady gardens. It is also resistant to diseases and pests. In addition, the flowers smell fantastic.
