Lilac syrup

We need:

20 lilac sprigs (it’s best if the flowers are not fully bloomed, then the syrup is most suitable)

1 liter of water

750 g -1 kg sugar (you can also use cane syrup)

30 g citric acid

1 lemon, thoroughly washed and sliced

Preparation:

We only need the flowers – we just have to remove them from the branches – it’s laborious, but worth it.

Put the water with the sugar on the fire – let it boil and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes. 

Then add citric acid and chopped lemon. 

Prepare a 3-liter container, put the flowers in it and pour the sugar syrup over them. 

Let it stand for 3 days in a cool room, then strain and pour into clean containers. 

We keep it cool. 

Diluted with carbonated water, it brings a taste of spring on hot summer days.

We wish you a good appetite!
