From Hedgerow to Table: Creating our Favourite Elderflower Delights on Our Narrowboat Home

Is there anything quite like the sweet scent of elderflower? For us, it truly marks the beginning of summer when this beguiling plant is ready to forage from the towpath. Join us on this week as we forage for elderflower and uncover the secrets of this enchanting plant.

In this video, we’ll show you how to identify elderflower and share some of the intriguing folklore surrounding it.

Once we've gathered our blossoms, we'll head back to our narrowboat kitchen to create three of our favourite elderflower recipes: a refreshing elderflower cordial, an elderflower & lavender Turkish delight, and a unique elderflower-flavoured vinegar.

Stick around until the end for an exciting taste test where we compare our homemade elderflower cordial to a popular supermarket brand. We hope you enjoy this fragrant and flavourful adventure!
