At this time of the year there is a lot of elderflower growing wild just about anywhere so I decided to make some use out of it.
He it goes…
2.5kg of granulated sugar and
1.5l of water
dissolve without boiling, then bing to boil, take of the heat and cool
20 elderflower heads, no long stocks
85g of citric acid
3-2 lemons peeled and cut into rings
mix until dissolve, cover well and leave in room temperature for 24 hours, than sieve into sterilised bottles, keep in fridge for up to 6 weeks, you can also freeze it in cubes or pasteurise it once in a bottles
It has a fantastic zesty flavour goes very well with some ice and sparkling water, great for hot sunny days. Enjoy
