Various drinks are prepared from elderberry flowers: from tea to champagne. However, the most popular is the refreshing lemonade or kvass from these flowers.
Elderberry flowers are very popular in folk medicine, as they have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. In the 4th century BC, Hippocrates used elderberry flowers for medicinal purposes, after which the shrub gained fame as a tree of longevity. From elderberry, you can prepare infusions and tea from berries – jam or compote. But since everyone wants to drink a glass of something refreshing in hot weather, elderberry kvass/lemonade has become the most popular recipe.
