Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Elderflower is a spicy and savory herbal infusion; its full flavor is matched by an unusually supple texture. The beautiful clusters of tiny blossoms are harvested in early summer. Though it has a long history of medicinal use and has been popular in Europe in centuries, it is lesser known in the United States. A rich, satisfying choice for those avoiding caffeine, or looking for an interesting alternative to Chamomile.
