A lovely refreshing summer drink, quick and easy to make. Makes great gifts too!
Makes 1.5 litres.
30 elderflower heads
3 pints/1.7 litres of boiling water
900g caster sugar
50g citric acid
2 unwaxed lemons, sliced
2 unwaxed oranges, sliced
Rince the flowers. Pour boiling water over sugar in a large pan. Stir and leave to cool. Add citric acid, oranges and lemons and then flowers. Leave it a cool place for 24 hours, stirring occasionally. Strain through muslin and store in sterilised bottles. Keeps for 3 months. Refrigerate once open.
When you say it makes great gifts, Abs, have you got any left over?! x
