Elderflower

Elderflower is supposed to smell like cat's pee, but it's less pungent than that. It's acidic and dusty with a hint of sweetness. If it was really horrible it wouldn't make such good lemonade.

Oh, I have never had that. How interesting. I wonder whether it would be the same if I acquired it online. Hey, I'll trade you a coconut for some elderflower!

I think elderflower has to be used fresh. I can't imagine it retaining its flavour if it were dried.

"Sir, how fast is overnight delivery from the UK to a tiny island in the pacific and can you send flowerpots?" [Laughs]
