Elderflower & Lemon Syrup
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
