INGREDIENTS
10 litres
of water
1 kg
of sugar
100 ml
lemon juice
20 umbels
of elderflowers
PREPARATION
1/
Collect the elderflowers needed for this recipe. Ideally, they should be harvested in the morning, before the yeast disappears in the heat and wind, and never after rain.

Separate the small flowers from the stems, since we are only interested in the white elderflower.
Prepare a syrup by dissolving the sugar in one part of the water (approximately 1 litre), gently heating the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow to cool before continuing with the recipe.
PREPARATION
2/
Place the cooled syrup, the rest of the water, the lemon juice and the flowers in a demijohn. Shake well to coat the flowers, and let it sit in the sun for 5 days. After this time, filter the mixture and bottle it in airtight bottles, which you can keep for a long time.

It is important to keep the bottles tightly sealed, as maceration produces carbon dioxide, just like cava, and we do not want the bottles to open or lose these subtle bubbles.
