ELDERFLOWER SYRUP

In may, along with roses and peonies, also blossoms the eldertree. The elderflowers make a delicious tea, but they make an even better refreshing drink. I usually leave some of the blossoms in the freezer, so I can make the syrup in winter as well.

You will need:

3 l water

4 kg sugar

6 lemons

1 citric acid (or 1 teaspoon per 1 l of water)

30 elderflower blossoms

- Boil water and sugar and let it cool.

- Add the blossoms into the cooled down sugar-water. Squeeze in the lemons, add the citric acid and mix it all together.

- Soak the mixture for 48 hours. Mix it every now and then.

- Strain it and pour it into the bottles.

- When it gets really hot in the summer, I add freshly squeezed lemon juice into the already prepared drink.

​Summer, we are ready for you! Welcome!

Recept dolgujem našim prijateljem iz Francije. Naš bezgov sok jim je bil tako zelo všeč.
