Now the period of flowering is the elder tree. During my walk, I felt his divine smell from afar. Elder belongs to the genus of shrubs and low trees. It grows along the clearings or on the edge of the forest. Already in the past said the plant has been associated with many superstitions. Once upon a time, people believed that the elder living good ghosts who care for the welfare and safety of people. Elderflower has many medicinal properties. Elderflowers are excellent for cleansing the body, as well as help with coughs, flu, compaction fever, pneumonia, colds, and asthma. That’s why I decided to pick up the elderflowers I will dry and use for tea.

Thank you. Maybe you already saw it, but you do not know it’s this plant ?
I stayed with someone in London a long time ago who told me about the healing properties of elderflowers.
We don’t have elderflowers or elderberries in Auckland and Im not sure if they live in the South Island or not.
It is too warm in Auckland for those trees, but I am interested in them
Too bad, I think it does not grow in your country.
We may be able to buy Elderberry tea in some shops, think I have seen it. I will buy some and try it.
I would like to try its taste 🙂
Try, if you have the opportunity. It’s really very tasty
These trees may be around here but I don’t know them. I will check to see if there are any in my area.
Maybe they really do not grow in your country. I do not know where you are from ?
Everything I know about elderberries, I learned from Monty Python…
Whatever you know is good and you can use it
I don’t think I’ve ever had any elderberries, or even loganberries for that matter…
I know tea and it’s very good … it’s also healing
I totally agree with you, Lado. It’s really very healing.
Healthy and very good taste
Enjoy your tea, the picture looks amazing.
Thank you very much. I enjoy tea and juice very much
Wish we could have it here too. Do you also coat it in a batter and fry it?
Yes, too … that’s so good. I’m surprised you know this dish ?
I have heard of elderberry wine before. Never tried the tea but the blooms are beautiful.
But I have not tried wine yet. Just tea and juice.
Beautiful flowers! It’s the first time I came across this type of plant. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much, Sharon. Maybe it’s not growing in your country
What is this elder tea ?
The elder tree has flowers from which to prepare tea.
Okay thank you so much for the clarification
I have a friend that makes many different kinds of wine. He makes an elderberry wine from time to time. WOW!
I had not tried elder leaf tea until about a year or so ago. It is quite good as welL!!!
I have not tried wine yet. I use it for tea and I do juice.
My friend makes all sorts of wines. Dandelion wine, Elderberry, Mulberry and other more old “US” and “Old Country (Europe)” style wines. He also makes a killer mead!!!
