I brought some into work with sparkling water to dilute and it went down a treat. It's simple to make;
In a large stainless steel or glass container, soak the following overnight;
- about 25 heads of elderflower (ideally picked at the end of a sunny day when it's very lemony and fragrant)
- 3 unwaxed lemons sliced very thinly
- sugar syrup (2.5 pounds of sugar (don't think about it!) disolved into about 3.5 pints of hot water)
- 2oz citric acid (Boots generally have it at the pharmacy counter)
*Elderflower grows on woody stems, generally shoulder height or above - the stuff that looks the same but grows from the ground on green stems is cow parsley and smells like cat's wee! Not recommended - even with ice and lemon!
