    Hi.When I drink them as tea, elderflower uplift my inner spirit.That is why I have started to drink elderflower tea. I have read that it is 5 min and you may have 3 cups a day. I added lemon juice and a little bit sweetener

    Would love to know more about that tray! Looks wonderful for harvest and drying

      It is. A cookie sheet will work just fine, but this particular tray was gifted to me about 15 years ago. It's from IKEA.

    Oh, I wish there was an easier way to get the flowers off! I can get buckets of flowers and it takes so long to process.

      I know, My children help and we listen to music or audiobooks to make the time pass more quickly, but it certainly does take awhile.

    Thank you for sharing. I plan to dry my first harvest of elderberry flowers and use for tea.
    Have you ever dried the flowers by sitting them outside in the sun?
    Thank you for sharing. Very helpful!

      I have not tried the sun method, although I did try to run my dehydrator outside but was having trouble because of the high humidity levels. It's worth a shot! Thanks for watching!

    Can you brew a cup o' tea from the fresh flowers?

    No washing them off first?

      Depending on where you harvested them from or if there are a lot of bugs on the flowers, washing would be a good idea. I don't usually wash mine. They are not near any fields where they might come into contact with pesticides, nor do I generally see many bugs on the flowers. Happy harvesting!

    The one you called weed, isn’t it yarrow?

      Was that the one next to the elderberries that I wanted to be sure to distinguish from elderberries? It is Queen Anne's Lace. I have yarrow growing elsewhere and it is a much smaller plant and is more fern like. I'm fairly new to yarrow.

      @@dahlsbarefootfarm1845 For many of us beginners in foraging medicinal or nutritional plants and herbs, it is often easy to mistake Queen Anne's Lace with Poison Hemlock, which is highly toxic...It would be great if you could do a short video showing the difference between Queen Anne's Lace, Poison Hemlock(if you have some in your area) and Yarrow, thank you🙏
