A 'QUICKE' HISTORY OF ELDER LORE
The elder is an ancient hedgerow plant, native to Britain and steeped in mystery and superstition. Legend has it that if you fall asleep under a tree in full bloom, you'll be carried off into the world of the fairies...
Famous for their use in champagnes, cordials, and cooking, elderflowers are also thought to have medicinal properties, and every part of the plant – bark, leaves, flowers, and berries – have been used in domestic medicine since the days of Hippocrates. A flower infusion is a good old-fashioned remedy for colds and sore throats, just what we need at this time of year.
If you can capture the sweet taste of elderflower - dry it, bottle it and preserve it - you can bring it out in the midst of winter, a much-needed reminder of warm sunny days.
