Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 10 liters of water
  • 1 kg sugar
  • 15 elderflower umbels, beautiful
  • 10 g citric acid
  • 4 lemons, untreated

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Not as sweet as the well-known syrup, therefore very refreshing!

Pluck the elderflowers from their stems. Bring the water to a boil. Dissolve the sugar and citric acid while stirring. Rinse the lemons with hot water, slice them thinly, and add them to the boiling water. Finally, add the elderflowers to a boil briefly but vigorously. Remove the flowers and lemon slices from the pot with a slotted spoon and press them with a potato ricer. Rinse screw-top bottles with hot water to prevent them from shattering during bottling. Pour the elderflower juice through a sieve and bottle hot. Tastes great as a spritzer with water or as a “spritz” with mineral water and Prosecco.
