Elderflower champagne

1 Gallon

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Heads of Elderflower
1½ pounds White sugar
2 tablespoons White-wine vinegar
1 gallon Water
1 Lemon

Directions

Pick the Elderflower heads when in full bloom and put into a bowl followed by the lemon juice, cut up rind (no white pith), sugar and vinegar. Add the cold water and leave for 24 hours. Strain into strong bottles, cork firmly and lay them on their sides. After two weeks it should be ready to drink.

This is a summer drink, rather like lemonade.
