Syrup Elderflower

Elderflower, coming from the shrub called Sambucus nigra, is known for its small white flowers grouped in large cymes and has a characteristic sweet scent. This shrub is native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia, and has naturalized in other regions, including North America.

Elderflowers are used in a variety of products and culinary preparations. They are famous for making infusions, syrups, and are used in the production of wines and liqueurs. Besides their use in cooking, elderflowers have a long history in traditional medicine. They are attributed with anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant properties, although these benefits require further scientific research to be fully understood and confirmed.

In folk medicine, it is believed that tea made from elderflowers can help relieve symptoms of cold and flu, thanks to its properties that can potentially stimulate the immune system and relieve nasal congestion. Additionally, they are used in various skincare products for their supposed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
