 Can you freeze elderflowers? I'd like to try gooseberry and elderflower crumble but my gooseberries are nearly ready yet. I'm sure I've read somewhere that you can freeze the flowers but can't remember who, where... Many thanks Lisa      |

| I should think they'd go black. You can dry them though. |

| I was thinking more down the line of making a concentrated cordial to add to other ingredients later on?  Don't know whether it's possible or the logistics tho!

| When my gran used to make Elderflower champagne (which was actually pop!) she used to float the umbels on top of the water!
