Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 10 elderflower heads
  • 1 ½ kg sugar
  • 25 g citric acid
  • 1 ½ liters of water

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest period approx. 1 day; Total time approx. 1 day 30 minutes

super simple, from South Tyrol – no cooking required

Let the elderflowers steep in 1.5 liters of water for 1-1.5 days. Then strain or filter the flowers and sift them until only clear floral water remains. Then, over several hours, add the sugar (with the citric acid) in portions, stirring vigorously. The sugar should dissolve completely and the syrup should become nice and clear. Bottle the finished syrup. Wonderfully refreshing, especially in summer. It also tastes simply delicious in sparkling wine and cocktails.
