DIY Elderflowersyrup

Yes, we made it ourselves... and it is very easy going. It is very nice when you are thirsty on a hot summer day.

You need:

• 10-20 elderflower blossom (pick them in June on a dry day)
• 1 lemon
• 600 gr sugar
• vanille essence
• 6 dl water

Even more flowers wil make it more tasty. You need the sugar to keep it over longer, you can use less when you drink it soon (in 1-3 days).

How to fix:

• Clean the lemon, make slices. Put it with the flowers in a big pan or small but clean hink.
• Cook the water with the sugar till the sugar has disappeared. Put in just a little vanilla essence.
• Put all together with the flowers and cover it.
• Leave it for 3-4 days in normal room temperature.
• Take of all the flowers with a sief and put the syrup in clean cooked bottles.

You can even make summerpunch out of it, just put in some white wine and soda just before drinking. Cheers!
