Ujel sem zadnji vlak, kot se reče.
Cvetovi bezga na sončni legi so v polnem razcvetu in se že radi usujejo, ko jih odrežem.
Kljub temu prinesem domov nekaj lepih cvetov in kar me je najbolj razveselilo: niti ene uši.

15 heads of elderflower
500 g caster sugar
4 tablespoons quality runny honey
2 unwaxed lemons

1. Wash the elderflower well, picking off any bugs.
2. Place the sugar and honey in a large saucepan with 1 litre of water.
Gently bring to the boil, until all the sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat.
3. Finely grate in the lemon zest and add the elderflower upside down, making sure the flowers are completely submerged.
4. Squeeze in the juice from one of the lemons, then slice the other and add it to the pan, too.
Pop the lid on and leave to one side to infuse for 24 hours.
5. When you’re ready to strain your cordial, line a fine sieve with muslin over a large bowl (if you don’t have muslin, you can use good quality kitchen towel) and pour through the cordial.
6. Store in sterilised bottles or jars and drink diluted with water, soda or Prosecco.

Razen teh se dobro meša še z nekaterimi močnejšimi špiriti.
Nepogrešljiv pri pripravi mixov s kumarami in ginom.
