Elderberry is picked after a few sunny days without rain so that there is as much pollen on the flowers as possible, because it gives that distinctive taste and smell.
Choose locations where there is no traffic or other sources of pollution nearby.
Elder flowers have an intense scent, and the taste is both aromatic and bitter, while the taste of the fruit becomes pleasant when cooked.
The flower contains essential oils, mucus, choline, sugar, saponin, malic, valerian and tartaric acid.
Young shoots and leaves of elderberry are harvested in April and May, and flowers at the time of flowering.
The flowers are picked in nice, sunny and dry weather as soon as the flowers start to open.
Flowers that are not harvested in sunny and dry weather quickly lose their milky white color, which turns brown and black and then they are no longer usable.
Cut the flowers with scissors to preserve as much pollen as possible on them.
Dilute the syrup with as much water or mineral water as you like - to get the best taste.
The juice is ideally served cold
