Ingredients

1 liter apple juice, or pear juice (not from concentrate) or freshly squeezed
10 large elderflower umbels, (well open)

Instructions

Shake out the elderflower, add the flowers with the small stems to the light-colored fruit juice (light-colored juices can also be mixed) and leave to stand overnight, covered.
Strain the next day, e.g. line a vegetable sieve with a kitchen roll and let it drain. Pour the elderflower juice into a glass carafe, cover.
This juice can be drunk with or without water. Both tastes wonderful. Enjoying chilled is also delicious, but not a must.
This fruit juice can be used to make a delicious fruit pudding with pudding powder or starch (see recipe for elderflower pudding).
