Elderflower syrup is a refreshing drink that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is made by steeping Elderflower blossoms in sugar and water, and the resulting syrup can be used to make a variety of drinks. It is often used to make soda water, or it can be mixed with lemonade or sparkling wine to create a refreshing summertime drink. Elderflower syrup can also be used in cooking, and it adds a unique flavor to desserts and baked goods. While elderflower syrup is most commonly associated with Northwest Europe, versions of the cordial can be traced back to Roman times.
