Ingredients
8 litres water
1.25 kg sugar
8 large elderflower heads
4 Lemons
4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Method
Boil the water and pour over the sugar to dissolve it.
Cool and add the elderflowers, the juice of two of the lemons, slices of the other two and the vinegar.
Cover with a cloth and leave for a day.
Strain with a muslin cloth, squeezing the flowers as you do to release more flavour.
Store in screw top bottles.
It will be ready in about 10 days to a fortnight and should be drunk within a month
Notes
This one really appealed to me because of its speed of maturity. Its now a week after when its drinkable and tastes delicious.
I used plastic bottles. The 2 litre spring water variety. They seem to hold the pressure though they must be done up tightly and they will bulge at both ends :p
