Elderflower Extract
Infuse everything with the delicate aroma of elderflowers by making your own elderflower extract. Just 2 ingredients needed!
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 5-10 fresh elderflower umbels
- 2 cups bourbon or vodka
Instructions
- Rinse elderflowers, then pat dry. Cut or pop off the flowers so you end up with as little stem as possible.
- Place flowers in a clean glass jar. Pour bourbon or vodka on top of the flowers, being sure to cover them completely with alcohol. Put a lid on, give the jar a good shake, and store in a cool dark cupboard.
- Allow flowers to infuse into the alcohol for 4-6 weeks. Check on your jar every other day or so, giving it another shake. After at least 4 weeks, strain the mixture, discarding the flowers.
