When the sugar water has cooled slightly (i.e., just warm), pour it over the elderflowers and lemons and stir. Then cover with a tea towel to keep out flies. Let the brew stand, covered, for about 4 days, stirring occasionally. Then strain through a fine sieve and bottle. It will keep in the bottle for 3 years.
