Elderflower
Description: Elderflowers have traditionally been used in herbal medicine to support the immune system, particularly during seasonal changes. They are also valued for their gentle action on the respiratory tract and for supporting the body's natural elimination processes. Some studies suggest the presence of flavonoids and phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties.
Taste: Delicate and floral, slightly honeyed with a subtle vegetal note.
History: Elder has held an important place in European traditions for centuries. Considered a protective tree, it was often planted near homes. The flowers were used in infusions, syrups, or macerations to support well-being during the cold season.
Infusion instructions: Infuse 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried flowers in 250 ml of hot water for 10 minutes, then strain before consuming.
