Elderflower & Lemon Syrup

elderflower and lemon drizzle

Method

  • Elderflower Syrup should be made in advance, (made as soon as possible with fresh Elderflower
  • You do not need to remove the flowers from the stems)
  • Add sugar, water & lemon to a saucepan and bring to the boil, reduce to medium heat and cook for approx
  • 10-15min to let the lemon infuse into the sugar syrup and to allow the liquid to start to reduce
  • Prepare a large glass jar or preserving jar and fill with the Elderflower
  • Once syrup is ready, pour into jar (including the lemon pieces) to fill jar
  • Put lid on gently while very hot, then tighten, once reduced a little in heat
  • This can now be stored away until needed
  • I suggest you do leave at least overnight before opening
  • Drain syrup off and save in a bottle or jar to use as desired
  • This quantity will make approx
  • 750ml of completed liquid
