Delish Elder flower drink done just in 24 hours...

It's Elder flower time in England now. 

Don't miss out !

 This 3 gigantic bottles of goodness were made back home on my holiday about 2 weeks ago now...

 My Dad and Me, went to find nice organic Elder flower in the woods with Bruno and Aisha.
They were so excited to go for a walk.

 This is the meadow, where I celebrated my 18th Birthday few years ago...
Lovely memories ...playing rugby and football - Boys against Girls ;P in a day time...
Singing around the fire in the evening, joking, spending time with friends before our food was ready to eat.
Going home after midnight with lights in our hands...listening for every weird noise around...

This time, just enjoying views and getting Elder flower.

Am sure you recognize Elder flower bush...We picked flowers...but there were many left , so my Dad can come back at the end of Summer to collect Elder flower berries and make nice wine from them.

So you can use flowers this time of year and what is left over ...is great wine material ;D

So here is the recipe for 24 hour drink. It is so easy...

15-20 Elder flower 

35 g of sugar

1 lemon cut up in circles 

and 4 liters of water

Put all ingredients into a jar with cover on.

Place jar on the window seal and let sun work on it....It was about 30 C back home, so drink was so hot...but that is good, because all flavours mix so much better.

Stir it every few hours with wooden spoon.

24 hours later , strain the drink, pour into bottles and put them in the fridge to cool.

 This is how we have it...with cherries complimenting the glass

I like to keep some flowers in , it makes it look nice.

Enjoy like we do...
