not done it with elderflowers flatcap, but with elderberries, but I can't see it making any difference to the flavour.  You'll have to let us know what it tastes like!!!!!

We've frozen them before to use for elderflower cordial, we found no difference in the taste.

I ran out of empties so have had to drink some up as I have some bottling to do :D
 I want to make elderflower beer as I tried some I got from a shop a couple of years ago and they stopped selling it, it was the best summer beer I ever tasted...
