Elderflower tea is a healthy and delicious, lightly floral tea you can make with either fresh or dried elderflowers. I serve my tea with a little bit of agave syrup!
Elderflower tea is rich in Vit C, strengthens the immune system and calms the stomach especially when bloated.
To preserve the elderflowers beyond their season I dry the flowers in a food dryer. I then use this dried Elderflower to make tea, Which I can be enjoyed all year around.. ☕️

- The stems will take longer to dry than the flowers, so always test them to determine if the drying is done.
