no added yeast, non-alcoholic version
A great drink for a hot afternoon on the veranda.
20 elderflower heads
5 lemons
150ml vinegar
1.5kg sugar
20 litres water
Cut most of the stems from the flowers. Shake any bugs, dirt etc.
Squeeze lemons and cut rind into strips.
Add all ingredients to a large container, stir until the sugar is dissolved. Steep for 24hrs, then strain, bottle and seal*. Store in a cool place. Keep at least 3 weeks before drinking.
Make sure the bottles are very clean. You can use champagne or beer bottles both of which have crown seals to fit-There are tool to put the caps on. PET soft drink bottles can also be used. The bottle needs to be strong to hold the fizz.I prefer champagne bottles with a crown seal.
