Elderberry Flower Drink
20 big clusters of flowers
1 1/2 litres of cold water
2 kg (or less) granulated sugar
25 g citric acid (or lemon/lime juice) you can buy it from the chemist
Remove as many stalks as possible.
In a large bowl or bucket (!) cover the flowers with the water and
the sugar and leave it 2 or 3 days stirring occasionally.
Strain the contents through a sieve.
Add to the liquid the citric acid which has been dissolved in a little
hot water.
Bottle the liquid, and cork it. When opened it should be kept in the
fridge. Actually I keep all my bottles in the fridge for fear of them
exploding(!)
