It's time to make elder blossom syrup.

First you take your favorite basket with you and snip twelve or so blossoms off the bush (I use maybe twenty blossoms - I like it strong).

Place them in a large and lovely bowl (lovely for your benefit) and pour four liters of boiling water over them. Add the juice of four lemons. Cover and let sit for two days, stirring occasionally.

Clip cheesecloth to the sides of the biggest pot you have, and pour the infusion through it. Add four kilos of sugar and bring to a boil, stirring now and then.

While you're waiting for it to boil you need to do two things:

1. Boil water and pour it over and into your sparkling clean bottles.
2. Have a glass of wine (again, for your benefit).

As soon as your syrup is boiling, have muscle man pour it into the hot, empty bottles. Close.

This will stay good for six months to a year. How to drink it? Pour a little in a glass and add ice-cold water to taste.
Served in a martini glass, it easily replaces an alcoholic beverage for those who prefer staying away from the hooch.
