ELDERBERRY BLOSSOM ICED TEA (W/OPTIONAL ADDITIONS)
Basic tea recipe from ehow.com and elaborated by yours truly. *Be very certain* the flowers you use for this recipe are not sprayed with pesticides and are the edible variety! We grow the European 'Black Lace' Elderberry with soft pale pink flowers. A visually striking plant! Experiment with other additions to the iced tea-don't limit yourself only to what I have suggested below. A note that elderberry is a unique, *acquired* taste for some.

Steps:
- Pick fresh elder flowers from an elderberry tree. Remove the blooms from the stems and discard stems.
- Place 2 to 4 fresh elder flowers in a heatproof bowl. (I tested this recipe using 3 stems of elderflowers and 6 cups of water).
- Boil the water.
- Pour the boiled water over the flowers to cover.
- Cover the bowl and allow the flowers to steep for about 10 minutes.
- Strain the tea and set aside to cool then refrigerate until well chilled. (Can also be served hot.).
- To serve, pour the chilled tea over ice cubes. Stir in your favorite additions.
- I floated a few of the individual blossoms on top of the tea.

- Tea. For relief from colds or flu, pour boiling water over fresh or dried flowers and steep in a covered container for 10 minutes. Mix in a spoonful of local honey and feel those pesky symptoms ease as you breathe in this steamy sweet beverage.
- Tincture. The flowers can be tinctured in alcohol for use as an herbal remedy for various ailments. Just place crushed dried flowers in a jar, cover with 60% alcohol, and let sit in a cool dark place for 3 to 4 weeks, shaking daily.
- Salve for Inflammation Relief. Use a salve or lotion made from the blossoms to reduce inflammation and pain from sprains and strains. You can incorporate other healing herbs such as calendula, comfrey, or st. John’s wort for additional support.
- Soothing Eye Wash. Make an eye wash for relief from itchy eyes, conjunctivitis, or hay fever. Just make a batch of elderflower tea, let cool, and rinse!
- Syrup. A syrup for fighting off colds, flus, and winter blues can be made with flowers of the elder tree as well as the berries. Or combine them for maximum benefit and flavor!
- Cosmetics. Back in the Victorian era, elderflower water was often used as a skin cleansing lotion, believed to keep the skin young and free of blemishes.
- Cordial. A cordial is a type of sweet soft drink that is historically popular in Western Europe and has been brewed since the Roman era. Delightfully fragrant and sweet, this concentrated syrup can be added to drinks or even mixed into recipes such as cakes and pancakes.
- Cocktails. Try out a fun and unique cocktail. Simply mix the flowers with lemon or lime peel or lemon balm and infuse in vodka for a couple of weeks. Strain out the liquid, add sugar syrup, and let the concoction sit for two more weeks.
- Wine. This one is a classic! Elderflower wine has a distinctive crisp, floral taste, and is very pleasant chilled with a picnic on a sunny afternoon. Here is the recipe I use
- Cooking with Elderflower. Use the cordial and/or dried flowers in cakes, tarts, jams, pies, or pancakes! The blossoms are great when balanced with tart fruits such as rhubarb.
