Elderflower - The Complete Plantvale Tea Guide (PDF)

The hedgerow shrub that hands you two teas a year - if you treat its golden rule with respect.

This guide will help you grow or find an elder, harvest it at the right moment, and brew it well. It is also honest about the one thing that matters most with this plant: the elder is partly edible and partly not. The flowers and the cooked ripe berries are the prize. The leaves, stems, bark, roots, and raw or unripe berries contain cyanogenic compounds and must never be used raw or brewed as-is. Once that is clear in your head, the rest is easy and rewarding - elder is one of the toughest, fastest, most forgiving shrubs you can plant.
