Elderflower juice homemade

Time

Total preparation time: 30 min.

Soon is the time of the elderflower, because I like to make elderflower juice. For this I collect 30 just blooming elderflower umbels.

The are rinsed briefly under running water and poured over with 2 1/2 liters of water. Then add 100 g of citric acid and leave to stand covered for 24 hours.

Strain the next day through a sieve and mix the stock with 3 kg of sugar. Let stand again for 24 hours and stir occasionally with a wooden spoon. Then fill in bottles and refrigerate.

I like to drink the Holdunderblüten juice mixed with mineral water and a slice of ginger. It also tastes great as an aperitif with sparkling wine.
