Ingredients
- 25 heads of elderflower
- 2 ½ pints water
- 1 bag sugar (1kg)
- 2 oz citric acid
- 2 x lemons
Boil water and dissolve sugar and citric acid, once its tepid add the elderflower, chop the lemons, squeeze them and add to the mix. Sit for 2 ½ days then strain and bottle.
Apparently it does sometimes ferment a bit in the bottle and it does sometimes get a bit of sediment in the bottom but its perfectly drinkable all the same. May just have to try a couple of pints to bottle the taste of summer...
hang on...no alcohol?! Sorry I don't understand!?
