Hi,
yesterday I had to promise to publish the recipe for the elder flower liquor
I prepared at home and served yesterday. I've got the recipe from the German
page
http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/269951103727949/Erfrischender-Holunderbluetenlikoer.html
and here comes my translation:
Refreshing liquor of elder flowers
Ingredients
===========
35 flowers of elder flower umbels (fully bursted into bloom)
3 litre water
50 g citric acid (powder)
1 kg sugar
3 Bottles of spirit (I used so called "Doppelkorn" see at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korn_(liquor) with 38%)
Preparation
===========
Harvest the elder flowers after a period of nice weather at noon to
ensure best flavour. Shake them a bit to get rid of any bugs (well,
really living bugs not in software ;-)) because by washing with water
some flavour will be lost.
Use a large pot or bucket an put elder flowers, water and citric acid
into it. Leave it alone for 24 hours. (Hint: You might put some
peals of organically grown oranges or lemons into it as well.) After
this period you put the stuff through a sieve - we also use a sheet or
filter bag for coffee as second filtering step to get a really clear
liquid. Put sugar and spirit to the liquid and stir it up.
Then you fill the liquor into bottles (keep the spirit bottles for
this reason and find some additional ones). You can safely store the
bottles in the cellar for one year - but I assure you that it will not
last that long until all your bottles are empty before this period if
you stick to the amounts given above. (This year we used 1.5 times of
the stuff). The liquor can be consumed immediately without any
additional waiting.
