Elderflower BeerOrigin: British Period: Traditional |
Ingredients:
2l elderflowers 
Method:Combine the water, oranges, lemons and sugar in a large pan. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes. Take off the heat and add the elderflowers. Set aside to infuse for 2 hours then pour through a sieve. Return the liquid to a pan and heat to blood temperature before pouring into a fermenting bucket. In this case, there should be enough natural yeast in the elderflowers to begin fermentation, but if you want to be sure add a piece of rye bread to the mixture. Allow to ferment for 3 days then rack into bottles (flip-top bottles are best). Stopper the bottles securely then lay down in a cool place. The beer will be ready to drink in 2 months. |
