Ingredients
10blossoms of elderflower, washed
1unwaxed organic lemon, washed and sliced
1lwater
20gcitric acid
1-2kgsugar, can be either brown or white
Instructions
Boil 1l of water in a large stockpot. Let it completely cool down (appx 1 hour).
Add citric acid (20g), elderflowers and lemon, gently push it down to make sure everything is soaked in the pre-boiled water.
Cover the pot with this mixture with a cloth (tea towel).
Let it brew for 24hrs.
After 24hrs, drain the brew through a thin/delicate sieve or linen tea towel, and make sure there are no bugs, flowers nor dirt in the liquid left. The liquid should now have light yellow color (it will be darker if using brown sugar).
Bring the elderflower brew to boil, and the sugar and let it bubble through for 2 minutes, then turn the hob off.
Fill the hot brew to the ready bottles (using a tunnel). Cap them right away. Congrats, you just made your own syrup!
