Elderflower Lemonade Recipe

Prep time 5-10 minutes  |  Serves 8

Ingredients

• ½ cup of honey
• 1 cup of elderflower syrup or concentrate
• juice from 6 large lemons
• 6 cups of water
• swingtop glass bottles or glass pitcher to store lemonade

Directions

1. To start your elderberry lemonade, add honey to 1 cup of the water in a small saucepan.
2. Heat gently over medium heat until honey is mixed well in the water and a simple honey syrup is created. Don’t overheat.
3. Pour the syrup in a large pitcher.
4. Add in the elderflower syrup and juice from the lemons
5. Add in the remaining 5 cups of water and stir well.
6. Add a generous amount of ice to the pitcher and serve.

Tips

• For a more sour lemonade add more lemons. For a sweeter lemonade add more elderflower syrup or more honey mixture.
• Don't overheat the honey mixture as it can decrease the health benefits of the honey. We used a raw, unfiltered honey with a mild taste and not so “honey-ish” tasting.
• Got our elderflower “concentrate” also known as a syrup, at ikea. You can get elderflower syrup on amazon. But it comes with a second lingonberry syrup (which is actually really yummy as a soda if you’ve never had it, tastes like cranberry) but not really worth buying on amazon. I think I paid 6-8 bucks at ikea for my bottle.
