Equipment

Ingredients

6 cups Lilac flowers cleaned without green pieces
1/2 cup Raw honey
3 Lemons sliced
4 inches Ginger sliced
1 gallon Water

Instructions

Place the lilac flowers in a clean glass jar. I use a 1-gallon jar.
2. Slice the lemon and ginger, then add them to the jar.
3. Dissolve the honey in warm water and pour it into the jar.
4. Add the lilac flowers and fill the jar with non-chlorinated water.
5. Gently stir, then loosely cover with parchment paper and a lid.
6. Let it sit at room temperature.
7. Fermentation will start naturally over the next few days. You’ll see bubbles and notice a slightly tangy smell. When it’s as fizzy as you like, strain it and pour into bottles to chill.
