Preparation steps

1.

Brush the elderflowers to remove any debris. Do not wash the elderflowers. Rinse the lemon in hot water, and cut into slices. Bring the sugar and 1 liter (approximately 1 quart) of water to a boil slowly, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. 

2.

Remove from the heat and let cool. Add the elderflowers and lemon slices and place in a large pot. Cover, and let infuse for two days. 

3.

Pour the mixture through a fine strainer lined with cheesecloth into a pot. Add the citric acid and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, pour into a clean, prepared bottle, and seal tightly. 

4.

To prepare a drink with the syrup, place some of the syrup in a glass. Dilute to taste with the rose water, garnish with rose petals, and serve.
