Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 5 liters of water
  • 500 g sugar
  • 45 g citric acid
  • 2 lemons (organic)
  • 15 elderflower umbels

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 5 minutes

sometimes with less sugar

Boil the water with the sugar and citric acid until the sugar has dissolved. Let this mixture cool (I let the pot stand overnight). Then add the sliced ​​lemons and the elderflower heads (don’t wash them, just shake them out) and let it all stand for another 2-3 days. Then strain everything out and bottle the liquid. It tastes good in sparkling water, sparkling wine, or Prosecco, mixed with quark or yogurt, neat over ice, or whatever. Best stored in a cool, dark place. It will last until the next elderflower bloom! Not much effort (financial or time-consuming), not too sweet, and a great souvenir.
