Elderflower gel

80 grams	elderflowers without stems
500 grams	water
400 grams	sugar
1	lemon (40 grams of juice)

First we’ll make an elderflower syrup. Pick enough elderflowers from the stems for 80 grams. Then mix the water with the sugar. Now cut a lemon in half and add 40 grams of the juice. Bring this to a boil. Once it’s boiling turn off the heat and directly add the 80 grams of cleaned elderflower. Make sure it’s submerged and then let it marinade overnight in your fridge. The next day you can pass it through a fine sieve and then the syrup will be great to use for dessert, cocktails or as a simple but delicious lemonade.

150 grams	elderflower syrup
100 grams	ginger beer
40 grams	lemon juice
3 grams	agar powder

Pour the syrup into a saucepan together with the ginger beer, the lemon juice and the agar powder. Mix this well and then bring this to a boil for 30 seconds. Then pour it into a bowl and let it cool down in your fridge. Once it’s cold and set transfer it into a blender and blend it till smooth. Now pour it into a piping bottle and keep it in your fridge for later.
