Elderflower Syrup




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 liter water
1 kg sugar
25 g citric acid
2 organic lemons
25 elderflower heads





Recipe



Bring the water together with the sugar and citric acid to boil. Let simmer for a few minutes until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the syrup from the heat and let cool a little.

Wash the lemons under hot water and cut into slices. Gently shake the flowers to get rid of any little bugs.

Layer the lemon slices with the elderflowers in a large bowl or bucket. Pour the warm syrup on top and cover the bowl with a tea towel.

Let the syrup infuse at a cool dark place for about 3 days. Stir a few times during the time.

After the 3 days strain the syrup through a sieve, lined with a cheese cloth. Sterilize your bottles, by putting them for about 10 minutes in the hot oven. Boil up the syrup and fill into the hot prepared bottles. Close right away and store in a dark cool place. Closed bottles are good for about 1 year.


Enjoy and Guten Appetit!
