I have not had the pleasure of tasting it but a lot of people I know add some alcohol to jams and jellies, why not this one. The St. Germain is distilled with wild elderflowers and has no added flavorings - sounds good to me.<br />Liebe Grüße nach Tuscon,<br />AndreaAndrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-87988836266885702352015-05-26T08:03:33.784+02:002015-05-26T08:03:33.784+02:00June, it is an interesting flower and people aroun...June, it is an interesting flower and people around here and the Skandinavian countries are crazy about its flavor and scent. It smells a bit like Muscat grapes. I have flavored syrups and teas, made ice cream and cake and fairy cakes and desserts with the cordial.

The flowers parfumed the air in late spring, early summer in our entire garden and it was growing like crazy. I have found Elderflower Sirup at IKEA's, but nothing can beat the scent and the taste of fresh Elderflowers. And the jam of Elderberries on scones is devine.
