Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Shake the elderflower umbels vigorously to remove insects. Do not wash the flowers; instead, carefully pluck them from the stems. Place the flowers in a large glass bowl.
  2. 2. Wash the lemons thoroughly. Slice them into thin rounds. Distribute the lemon slices evenly over the flowers.
  3. 3. Sprinkle citric acid over the lemon slices. Pour cold water over the mixture.
  4. 4. Cover the bowl, for example with a plate. Let the mixture infuse for at least 20 hours, preferably 24 hours, at room temperature.
  5. 5. The next day, strain the liquid into a clean glass bowl through a sieve. Gently press the flowers to extract the juice. Stir the sugar into the juice until it has completely dissolved.
  6. 6. Cover the bowl again. Let the sweet mixture stand for another day at room temperature.
  7. 7. Fill the finished syrup into well-rinsed bottles. Seal the bottles and store them in the refrigerator. The syrup will keep for at least one year.
