Pairing: fruit, yogurt, or honeyed desserts
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.
