Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. This recipe is a base version. If you need more syrup, simply double or triple the listed amounts. This base quantity yields about 1.5 liters of finished syrup.
  2. 2. Harvest the elderflower blossoms when they are fully ripe. The flower clusters should smell strongly and be completely open.
  3. 3. Pour 10 to 15 flower clusters into one liter of water each and let the mixture steep for 24 hours.
  4. 4. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve. Add 1 kilogram of sugar and 15 to 25 grams of citric acid per liter of measured water, then bring everything to a boil together. Boiling helps dissolve the sugar better and ensures the syrup stays fresh longer.
  5. 5. Pour the hot syrup immediately into well-rinsed bottles. Tip: You can replace the citric acid with the juice of 1 to 2 fresh lemons per liter of base. However, using citric acid gives the syrup a slightly more zesty taste.
