    Elderflower

    Elderflower generally flowers in July in Rhynie, and its frothy inflorescence means one thing…elderflower champagne.  Gathered sweet scented bunches of flower heads contain a natural wild yeast, that when soaked in sugarwater and lemon, ferments to a delicious summer sipper.  In the autumn, the small deep purple berries can be cooked and sieved to make jams and marinades.  Lady Elder’s permission must be sought before taking her tasty offerings.
