Ingredients

  • 3 cups elderflower blossoms rinsed (leaves and stems removed) 
  • 4 cups sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 lemons sliced 
  • 5 cups  water
  • 1 tbsp lemon fresh squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • Add the sliced lemon and elderflower blossoms to a large pot.
  • In a separate smaller pot, add the rest of the ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil. Sugar has to have dissolved.
  • Pour the sugar syrup over the blossoms and lemons and stir well to combine.
  • Let the mixture cool down to room temperature. 
  • Cover with lid and let it sit for 48 hours, stirring a few times.
  • When ready, strain the mixture through a mesh sieve. The syrup should be clean-looking with light yellow color (unless you use coconut sugar, it will be darker).
  • Pour in a mason jar or a glass bottle and keep it in the fridge for 2 months.
