Elderflower syrup from Tübingen based on Grandma Martha's recipe – floral, lemony, and intense.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHolunderBlütenWunder Premium Elderflower Syrup\u003c\/strong\u003e is an elderflower syrup made from elderflowers, lemon juice, and beet sugar in a 250 ml bottle. It comes from HolunderBlütenWunder in Tübingen, where the family has been making syrup from hand-picked blossoms since 1979. Mixed with water or sparkling water in a 1:4 ratio, it becomes a refreshing drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Elderflower Syrup from HolunderBlütenWunder\u003c\/strong\u003e is how it all began. Elderflower syrup is made from the white flower umbels of the black elderberry. They bloom in early summer along paths, forest edges, and in many gardens. For the syrup, the blossoms are steeped in water so they release their fragrance. Lemon provides freshness and acidity, while sugar preserves the extract and rounds out the flavor. At HolunderBlütenWunder, the label lists water, beet sugar, lemon juice, and elderflowers, plus citric acid and a little vinegar. According to the manufacturer, the bottle contains an exceptionally high amount of fresh elderflower and plenty of lemon. The syrup is a concentrate. It is too sweet on its own and only unfolds its flavor when diluted with water. The manufacturer recommends mixing about one part syrup to four parts water or sparkling water. This allows the small bottle to make a good liter of drink. This syrup has been our top seller from Tübingen for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntense and refreshing – that is how HolunderBlütenWunder describes the taste. As soon as you open the bottle, the typical fragrance of elderflower rises up. It is floral, slightly honey-like, and reminiscent of a warm June afternoon. In a glass with cold sparkling water, it is first floral, then lemony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lemon plays a major role here. It keeps the sweetness in check and gives the syrup vitality. On the palate, floral notes and citrus freshness alternate, leaving a clean, slightly tart floral finish. Because the syrup is based on beet sugar, the sweetness tastes clear and neutral, without a caramel note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou decide how strong the syrup is. At a 1:4 ratio, it has a distinct elderflower taste; at 1:6, it becomes a light spritzer for hot days. When mixed with hot water, the lemon moves to the foreground and the blossom notes become softer. Those expecting a syrup with a strong fruit flavor like raspberry or cherry will find this one too delicate. Elderflower relies on its fragrance, not its fruitiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe syrup most often ends up in a spritzer. Add two tablespoons to a large glass, fill with cold sparkling water, and add a few ice cubes and a slice of lemon. You can mix homemade lemonade for the whole table in a carafe with mint and cucumber slices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHolunderBlütenWunder lists a long range of uses. These include spritzers, hot drinks, lemonade, fruit juice spritzers, and iced tea. Cocktails, sparkling wine, and Hugo are also on the list, as are long drinks or shots with vodka or gin. For a classic Hugo, add two centiliters of syrup, a few mint leaves, and a slice of lime to a wine glass. Top up with sparkling wine and a splash of sparkling water. With a good gin and tonic, the syrup adds a floral note to the long drink. In winter, it belongs in a mug: two tablespoons of syrup, hot water, and a slice of lemon make a warming floral drink. If you like, add a cinnamon stick or a piece of fresh ginger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has its place in the kitchen. The manufacturer suggests salad dressings and desserts. For a summery dressing, stir a spoonful of syrup with white wine vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. It goes well with asparagus salad, strawberries on arugula, or a cucumber salad. Drizzled over vanilla ice cream, in yogurt with berries, or in panna cotta, the syrup adds a floral note. A fruit salad of melon, strawberries, and mint gets a delicate aroma from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce opened, store the bottle in the refrigerator. According to the manufacturer, it will keep for at least six weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pour syrup and sparkling water in a 1:4 ratio into ice cube trays and freeze them. The floral cubes turn any lemonade or glass of water into a summer drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe story begins in 1979 at the Tübingen market square. Roberto Deimel, a native of Chile, offered an ice-cold drink there. It was made according to Grandma Martha's old family recipe. Local restaurateurs took notice, and the small \"Blossom Kitchen\" soon became famous. According to the family, they never needed a single advertisement for it. Because it felt like a small miracle, the syrup got its name: HolunderBlütenWunder (Elderflower Wonder).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the family, Roberto Deimel is considered the \"founding father of the elderberry.\" His daughter Malena Medam picked elderflowers as a child and now manages the distribution. Grandma Martha's recipe has been continuously refined over the years, with more lemon and even more fresh blossoms. The company is still based in Tübingen, on Wilonstraße.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place in May and June, and it is done by hand. According to the manufacturer, only on sunny days at midday, when the blossoms are at their most fragrant. Afterward, the blossom kitchen processes them freshly harvested. The syrup is gently pasteurized and, when sealed, keeps for over three years according to the manufacturer. The ingredient list does not contain any of the 14 main allergens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elderflower syrup is for anyone who wants to drink something other than water or soda in the summer. It is perfect for families with children who love a homemade spritzer. Hosts mixing a Hugo or a non-alcoholic drink for a barbecue will also appreciate it. For hobby bakers and dessert fans, it is a simple floral note to keep in the pantry. And those who have never gathered elderflowers themselves get the scent of early summer for the whole year with this bottle.

Outside it is grey and cold, inside a cup steams with the scent of lemon, blossoms, and fresh ginger. The family created this syrup for just such moments. The base is the same as the classic elderflower syrup: water, beet sugar, lemon juice, and elderflowers, along with citric acid and a little vinegar. Ginger extract is added to the mix. An extract is a concentrated essence of the root that carries its heat and fragrance in liquid form. This allows the ginger to distribute evenly throughout the syrup, completely free of fibers or pieces. Like all HolunderBlütenWunder syrups, this is a concentrate. It only becomes a drink when diluted with water. The manufacturer recommends a ratio of about 1:4. A 250 ml bottle therefore makes about a liter of hot drink or spritzer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo opposites meet in this bottle. The elderflower is delicate, floral, and fragrant. The ginger is hot, warm, and spicy. In the glass, they combine into a flavor that begins with floral notes and leaves a pleasant warmth in the throat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLemon holds both together. It provides acidity and freshness, preventing the sweetness of the beet sugar from becoming too dominant. In the finish, the heat of the ginger remains noticeable for a while, while the floral scent slowly fades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe intensity of the ginger depends on the temperature. When brewed hot, it stands out clearly, as the heat amplifies its spiciness. Mixed cold with sparkling water, it becomes fresher and zippier. In our interview, Malena Medam of HolunderBlütenWunder speaks of a \"special refreshing kick.\" Those who prefer a mild, purely floral taste will find the ginger heat too strong. For that palate, the classic elderflower syrup is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our interview, Malena Medam calls this variety \"ideal for hot drinks.\" Add two to three tablespoons of syrup to a large mug and top with hot, but not boiling, water. A slice of lemon or orange and a cinnamon stick turn it into a winter tea. If you like it even spicier, add a few fresh slices of ginger. For a children's punch for an Advent afternoon, heat apple juice and water in equal parts with cloves and star anise. A splash of syrup per mug adds blossom flavor and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn summer, the syrup works well as a spritzer. With cold sparkling water, ice, and a sprig of mint, it is a thirst quencher with bite. For a homemade ginger lemonade, mix syrup, sparkling water, and the juice of half a lime in a carafe. Iced tea made from green or black tea also becomes more exciting with a splash of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn cocktails, this variety brings a spice that pairs well with many spirits. With vodka, lime, and ginger beer, it creates a floral take on the Moscow Mule. With gin, tonic, and a slice of cucumber, it becomes a fresh long drink. The syrup also works in sparkling wine with mint and lime as a spicy Hugo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, elderflower and ginger pair well with Asian-inspired dishes. A dressing made from syrup, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil tastes great on cucumber salad, glass noodle salad, or salmon. A spoonful of syrup adds a spicy note to fruit salad with mango and pineapple. Keep the bottle in the refrigerator once opened; according to the manufacturer, it will last at least six weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stir a tablespoon into a cup of hot milk or oat drink and sprinkle some cinnamon on top.

Malena Medam is the daughter of founder Roberto Deimel. She picked elderflowers as a child and teenager and took over production management at the age of 20. Later, she trained as a cultural manager and worked for the Berlin Clubcommission. Through this path, she introduced HolunderBlütenWunder to the Berlin gastronomy scene. Today, she is responsible for strategic management and sales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe family deliberately keeps the range small. According to Malena Medam, only four types of syrup and one \"Elderflower Pearl\" have been developed over four decades. Elderflower \u0026amp; Ginger is the variety that carries the syrup into the winter. For the blossoms, the family heads out every year in early summer; everything is picked by hand. The blossoms and beet sugar come from Baden-Württemberg, the lemons from Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter bottling, the \"blossom kitchen\" gently heats the syrup, allowing it to remain fresh for more than three years unopened, according to the manufacturer. The ingredient list does not contain any of the 14 main allergens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElderflower \u0026amp; Ginger is for everyone who likes to drink something hot and caffeine-free in winter. It suits people who like ginger tea but are looking for a rounded, floral note to go with it. In summer, it is for everyone who prefers their spritzer with a bit of spice rather than just sweetness. Hobby mixologists will also find it a spicy ingredient for long drinks. The bottle also makes a great small gift in autumn, perhaps paired with a nice mug and a lemon. And for those looking for an alternative to their fifth cup of coffee at the office, keeping a bottle next to the kettle is a great idea.

Direct-pressed means the juice comes straight from the pressed stalks and is not diluted from concentrate. Botanically, rhubarb is a vegetable, but it is used like a fruit in the kitchen. Its acidity is bold and fresh. Other ingredients include water, beet sugar, lemon juice, elderflowers, citric acid, a touch of vinegar, and a splash of direct-pressed elderberry juice.

For a spritzer, cold sparkling water at a 1:4 ratio is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our interview, Malena Medam shared her own recipe, the \"Ruby\": add 3 cl of syrup, 15 cl of ginger ale, and 5 cl of soda water over ice, then garnish with lime and mint.

The quince is an ancient cultivated fruit related to the apple and pear. Raw, it is hard, sour, and tart; hardly anyone bites into one. Only when cooked, pressed, or preserved does its fragrance emerge. In the past, many gardens had a quince tree, and in the autumn, jelly and bread were made from the fruit. This syrup contains direct-pressed quince juice, meaning freshly squeezed juice without the detour through a concentrate. Combined with water, beet sugar, lemon juice, elderflowers, citric acid, and a splash of vinegar, it creates a syrup that bridges early summer and autumn. Elderflowers bloom in June, and quince ripens in October. In the bottle, they meet. This syrup is also a concentrate and is diluted with water, according to the manufacturer, in a ratio of about 1:4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTart, aromatic, and fruity – that is how HolunderBlütenWunder describes this variety. Upon opening the bottle, the quince reveals its typical fragrance. It is reminiscent of ripe apples and pears, accompanied by a lemony freshness and a hint of rose. The elderflower settles over it in a floral way without overpowering the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the fruit appears first, followed by the acidity. The quince brings a subtle tartness, similar to a quince jelly, only fresher. The lemon keeps the flavor vibrant, and the beet sugar rounds it off. A slightly tart fruity note lingers in the finish, remaining on the palate for a while. The more you dilute it, the more refined this note becomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith cold sparkling water, the syrup tastes fresh and zesty. With hot water, the quince moves further into the foreground, and the aroma becomes more intense. Especially in autumn and winter, this is a lovely change from fruit tea. Those looking for a lightly sweet syrup with clear berry fruit will find the tart quince too unusual. For everyone else, this very tartness is the appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer suggests spritzers, homemade lemonade, and hot beverages as basic applications. For a spritzer, add two tablespoons of syrup to a large glass and fill with cold sparkling water. For a homemade lemonade, mix syrup, sparkling water, lemon slices, and ice in a carafe. Infused with hot water, a cinnamon stick, and an orange slice, it becomes an autumn drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis variety also works well in sparkling wine, a Hugo, and many cocktails. For a Hugo with quince, add two centiliters of syrup to a wine glass, along with ice, a lime slice, and a sprig of rosemary instead of mint. Top up with sparkling wine and a little sparkling water. Combined with gin and tonic, it creates an autumnal long drink; with apple juice and sparkling water, a fruity spritzer for children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe syrup can be creatively combined with herbs. Rosemary and basil pair particularly well with the tart quince. Place a sprig of rosemary in the carafe or crush a few basil leaves in the glass before pouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, you can use it like a liquid quince jelly. A spoonful in a sauce for game or duck adds a fruity acidity. A dressing made of syrup, apple cider vinegar, mustard, and walnut oil goes well with lamb's lettuce with pear and blue cheese. Drizzled over semolina porridge, rice pudding, or vanilla pudding, it adds an autumnal note. A dash in the filling of an apple strudel or in a batter for quark waffles also works well. Once opened, store the bottle in the refrigerator; according to the manufacturer, it will keep there for at least six weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drizzle a tablespoon of syrup over a warm baked apple with vanilla sauce. Quince and apple complement each other, while the elderflower adds a subtle freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith this variety, it is worth taking a look at the raw materials. According to the manufacturer, the direct-pressed quince juice comes from Baden-Württemberg, as do the beet sugar and the elderflowers. Only the lemons travel further; they come from Italy. Thus, a large portion of the ingredients remains in the region around Tübingen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is processed in the \"Blütenküche\" (blossom kitchen) of HolunderBlütenWunder on Wilonstraße in Tübingen. The family business has been making syrup there since 1979. Founder Roberto Deimel once started with an ice-cold drink at the Tübingen marketplace; today, his daughter Malena Medam co-manages the business. The range has remained intentionally small; the quince is one of four syrup varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter bottling, the syrup is gently pasteurized. Sealed, it keeps for over three years according to the manufacturer. The ingredient list does not name any of the 14 major allergens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElderflower \u0026amp; Quince is for anyone who enjoys tart, aromatic drinks and likes to try something new. It suits quince fans who make jelly in the autumn and want to have that flavor in the cupboard all year round. Hobby bartenders will also find it to be an unusual ingredient for a Hugo or long drinks. For cold days, it is an alternative to tea and punch. Families mix it for children with apple juice and sparkling water, while adults use the same syrup for a Hugo. And those who only know quince trees from Grandma's garden get the familiar fragrance in their glass without the peeling, cooking, and pressing. As a gift for an autumn dinner, the bottle tells a regional story.
