Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Two more days before bottling, this smells amazing the lemon citrus smell especially Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Right then....I can report a success of sorts we still have day or two to wait but we put one bottle in the fridge last night and tasted it today. Very tasty and I was surprised to find that I liked it as I hate those Elderflower type juices you buy from the shops. This is like lemonade really. I'm not sure how alcohol it is though, it doesn't seem strong. On to the important but, when the wife cracked open this bottle it was like a shotgun going off and we'd degassed only yesterday! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Down to the last couple of glasses left, that was very very nice! I am really surprised because I hated those horrible floral drinks you can buy which are often called elderflower (but probably have other things like rose hip) so did not expect to like this at all. I cannot wait till next year we're going to make loads of it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squeamish5 309 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Do you think the flowers would keep their fragrance in the freezer? (I freeze herbs too, but only green stuff like basil or parsley, not woody herbs like thyme or bay, which I dry. Dunno where elderflowers would sit on that scale.....??
