I got this recipe from my aunt and with a little modifications from my grandmothers experience, it is a very diffrent, fun and fast lemonade to make! (the original recipe takes 5 days to make) It has a very special flowery taste and is a bit bitter sweet. The colour is very beautiful and makes it really pop when you serve it and will for sure give your guests an exotic and excitingly diffrent new flavour to try. I actually did this last summer with my little brother too, it's so fun that he likes to make and try diffrent things!
Ingredients
20-30 bunches of lilacs flowers (or as many as you fit in your pot)
1 l water
1 lemon + the lemon zest
5 dl sugar
0,5 tea spoon of atamon or benzoat (preservative)
- the preservative is 1 g per litre water
Shake the flowers and loosen them from their stem so all bugs run away. Put them in a pot or similar, pour boiling water over them and boil for 10 minutes. Remove the flowers and filtrate the water. Add the juice of 1 lemon, the lemon zest, sugar and the preservative, dissolve it in the water. Let cool and fill up your bottle and you are done!
You can of course use this recipe as a base and add other kinds of edible flowers.
