Elderberry syrup with lemon

Pick elderflowers on a dry, sunny day, ideally in the morning when they are most aromatic.

Clean the petals from the flower, place in a large container and cover with boiling water.

Add the sliced lemons and leave to infuse for 24 hours.

The next day, pour the elderflower liquor through a cloth or a thick sieve.

Add the sugar to the elderflower water, boil until completely dissolved and then add the citric acid.

Set the finished syrup aside, let it cool down a little and then hot fill it into the prepared bottles. 7. Close and set the bottles upside down.
