Instructions

1. In spring, when the elder is in bloom, I collect the flowers for various purposes, including for years for my elderflower vinegar.
2. For this you need about 3 - 4 dolens of beautiful, blooming elderflower and a bottle of wine vinegar. Another good vinegar can also be used as the base vinegar at any time, including: Balsamic vinegar.
3. Put the washed and carefully dabbed flowers in a bottle and pour the wine vinegar or other vinegar over them, then close immediately. The flowers must be completely enclosed in the vinegar.
4. Then let it stand for at least 4 weeks before using it so that the flowers release their active ingredients.
5. If you feel like it, you can also use several bottles. Nicely arranged in a pretty bottle, you always have a nice, personal gift.
6. I don`t drain the flowers, but if they bother you, you can drain them with a sieve and transfer the vinegar to another bottle.
7. I use it for all purposes, whether salads or other dishes. I also have the feeling that I`m doing something good for my health and I like it very much.
