INGRÉDIENTS
Elderflower liqueur recipe
10 elderflower heads
1/2 liter/ 2 cups vodka
50 ml/ 1/4 cup water
50 g/ 1/4 cup sugar

PRÉPARATION
Pick the flowers on a sunny day and choose fully open but not yet brown blossoms. Pull the flowers gently from the stalks, place in a glass jar and pour over the vodka. Place a weight (I use a small ramekin) on top to keep the flowers submerged. Leave for 2 weeks in a cool, dark place. Strain through a sieve. In a small pan over a gentle heat dissolve the sugar in the water, let cool before adding to the rest. Bottle and store in a cool dark place. Keeps well.
