ELDEFLOWER SYRUP

ELDEFLOWER SYRUP

elderflowers are in season from the end of May to the beginning of June

Ingredients:

Around 40 elder flower umbels

2 litre of water

1-2 kg of brown sugar (depend how sweet you want it to be)

Juice from 5 lemons

1.      Separate flowers from the green part. I used scissors to do it.

2.      Pour on them hot, boiling water and leave it like that for overnight.

3.      Next day drain it, add sugar, lemon juice and boil on low heat until sugar dissolves. 

4.      When it starts to boil remove from heat and pour info sterilized bottles/jars.

5.      If you choose jars close them and put “upside down”. Bring back to normal position after it cools down.

 

Elderflower syrup helps our immune system, it fights viruses, infections and it’s a natural painkiller.

In winter time you can drink it with tea or with water as lemonade.
