Elderflower Champagne

Version 1
 

4 large heads of Elderflower
1lb / 450g sugar
juice and rind of a lemon
2 tbs / 30ml white vinegar
1 gallon / 3.8L cold water


Mix all the ingredients together and leave for 24 hours,  strain and bottle
Cork tightly – it will be ready to drink in about a fortnight

Make sure that you have enough bottles to put it in, it is better to use glass bottles with corks rather than screw tops. Pressure can build up so store the bottles somewhere where it won’t matter if the tops fly off!
