Ingredients for - Elderflower Syrup
How to cook deliciously - Elderflower Syrup
1. Stage
Rinse the florets gently with cold water, shaking off the excess water (you can put them in a colander and let the water drain off). Cut three lemons into thin discs.
2. Stage
Remove the large stems from the inflorescences (you can simply cut off the flowers with scissors). Put the flowers and lemon slices in a jar and pour cold water over them. Squeeze out the juice of two lemons, add to the jar and cover. Leave in a cool place from 2x to 6 days (I left for 3.5 days). During this time, the flowers will give their flavor to our syrup. The contents of the jar stir periodically (2-3 times a day). If the jar is closed with an airtight lid, you can simply turn it over several times. Do not leave the jar in the sun to avoid fermentation.
3. Stage
Pour the contents of the jar into a saucepan, straining through gauze (squeeze the gauze well). Add the juice of half a lemon, sugar, stirring, bring to a boil. Remove from heat, pour into sterilized jars/bottles. Close with a lid.
4. Stage
Store in a cool place, preferably in the refrigerator.
