Elderflower syrup

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.
