Sambucus Nigra or Elderflower, a relation to the honeysuckle family, this pretty white flower is found far and wide, enabling us to pick it and make various recipes from it. I always remember drinking elderflower tea whenever I had a cold because elderflower can be used to treat a few ailments like relieving inflammation, swelling and also pain relief. Apparently, the best time to pick the flower is when it is creamy, not white, thus resulting in a better flavour. So let’s make sure we pick these recipes at just the right time of year…
