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