In late spring, the incredible elderberry plant begins to bloom. You shouldn't forget about it, because its inflorescences can become the main ingredient in a delicious syrup. The resulting drink can be opened in the winter, frozen or stored in the refrigerator, or made into a refreshing tonic in the heat of the day.
Food blogger Evelina Melnikova shared a recipe for elderberry syrup on her Instagram page.
Ingredients:
- elderberry inflorescences - 25 pcs
- sugar - 2 kg
- water - 3 liters
- lemons - 4 pcs
- citric acid - 30 g

3. Add lemon juice and acid to the syrup.
4. Put the flowers in a deep bowl and pour the syrup over them. Leave for 48 hours.
