I grew up on Saft which is a delicious flavored syrup that you add water to in sweden, the end result being a somewhat watered down juice. One of the flavors that I loved was elderflower, so for this spring I decided to attempt to make my own elderflower syrup. Elderflower syrup can be combined with water for a refreshing drink or to cocktails or champagne for something a little more sophisticated.
The first problem I ran in to was that elderflowers are not grown locally, so I had to order them online (thank you amazon). Once you have the flowers, it seems relatively easy to make the syrup with a few ingredients, water, sugar and lemon. I mixed a few recipes up, so we will see how this turns out, however here is one that sounds simple. More to come in a week when said syrup is ready.
