When my boyfriend and I were visiting my friend Verena in Italy, we went outdoors as much as possible, as she lives in the middle of the beautiful dolomites. This meant that everywhere we looked, there was a hiking trail waiting for us. When we went on hikes, we took elderflower tea with us to drink on our breaks and to warm up our bodies, which Verena prepared for us. I used to drink elderflower lemonade during summer, but I never thought of it as a hot drink. However, it turned out to be DELICIOUS!

You just have to put elderflower syrup in a cup or thermos and add hot water. This is also a low waste option as elderflower syrup comes in a glass bottle (which lasts for a looong time), so there is no extra waste!
