Honeysuckle or Elderflower Cordial

In early summer, look for wild (invasive in some parts) Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera Japonica) along fencerows, and pick the light-colored blossoms early in the morning, when their fragrance is most intense. The creamy-white sprays of flowers on elderberry shrubs (Sambucus canadensis in the eastern United States, Sambucus cerulea in the West) can be found around the same time, in wild fields, around abandoned houses and barns, and along little-traveled roads all over
