Few things remind me of the summer as the elderberry syrup.
Here in Trentino, as in South Tyrol, and 'a tradition for many families prepare this syrup in late spring and then enjoy it during the summer afternoons. As a child, not just a missed opportunity to scrounge large glass, crossing the threshold from friends and relatives.
preparation in reality 'is very simple, but how many housewives alchemy, the end result depends on billions of small combinations. So it is' impossible to replicate the taste a bottle in particular .. except in the memories.
A recommendation, perhaps obvious: try to pick the flowers from plants away from possible sources of pollution, and use organic lemons!
Ingredients: 15 large flowers
1.5 kg sugar 1.5 liters water 4 lemons
Wash the flowers and lemons. Cut the lemon slices. Let soak in a container for 3 days elder flowers, lemons and 1.5 liters of water. Every now and then stir.
the third day, squeeze well and strain out everything (I use a linen cloth), add sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved. Therefore, be to a boil in a pot and bottles.
The bottles should be stored in a cool, dark place.
be consumed diluted with fresh water.
