Dried Elderflowers
Eco-Pebble Elderflowers are 100% dried elderflowers, bringing the delicate floral aroma of elderflower to drinks, desserts, syrups and creative cooking. Their fragrant, gently sweet character makes them particularly useful when you want to infuse a recipe with elderflower without relying on a ready-made cordial.
Dried elderflowers can be steeped in hot water to make elderflower tea, infused into sugar syrups for cocktails and soft drinks, or used to flavour creams, custards, panna cotta and homemade sorbets. They also pair beautifully with seasonal ingredients such as lemon, gooseberry, strawberry, raspberry, apple and pear.
At Infusions4chefs, we particularly like dried elderflowers because they give you much more freedom to control the flavour of a recipe. A simple elderflower infusion can become the starting point for everything from a refreshing summer drink to a restaurant-style dessert.

How do you use dried elderflowers to make tea?
Place a small quantity of dried elderflowers into a teapot or infuser, add freshly boiled water and allow the flowers to steep before straining. The strength can be adjusted by changing the quantity of elderflowers or the infusion time.
What flavours pair well with elderflower?
Elderflower works particularly well with fresh, gently acidic flavours. Lemon, gooseberry, strawberry, raspberry, apple, pear, cucumber and mint are all natural partners. It can also be paired with vanilla and creamy flavours in desserts where its floral character provides contrast to the richness.
Can dried elderflowers be used to make elderflower cordial?
Yes. Dried elderflowers can be infused with water, sugar and citrus to create a homemade elderflower cordial or syrup. Because dried flowers can vary in intensity compared with freshly picked elderflower heads, adjust the quantity and infusion time according to the strength of flavour required.
