Elderflower Liqueur Recipe - Food.com image

If you are lucky enough to have a tree or know where to pick elderflowers give this a try. Pick flowers right after dew is dry from them and before the heat of day removes the fragrance. Morning is when they're at their most fragrant, Any of the top layer of flowers will oxidize from contact with air, turning brown. It's fine you can leave it be or place a weight on them to keep submerged, Do expect the liqueur to darken as it ages into a deep amber. This is OK.

Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

elderberry flowers, enough to loosely fill a quart mason jar shake bugs off and removing all toxic stems
vodka (or more) or Everclear alcohol, 100-proof (or more)
1/4-1/2 cup sugar
3 -4 lemon verbena leaves (6/10/2014 I added and with lemon slices to keep the flowers under the Spyritus 96%alc.)

Steps:

  • Place flowers in the jar and covered the flowers in vodka filling so no air can get to the flowers. Close jar.
  • Optional place a clean lid from a slightly smaller jar upside down on top of the flowers to weigh them down under the vodka.
  • Place in a cool dark spot.
  • Give the jar a shake daily for at least a week up to a month.
  • Strain a couple times the second using an unbleached coffee filter.
  • Add sugar to how sweet you want it.
  • Place jar in the bar and shake it from time to time until the sugar has dissolved. When all dissolved enjoy room temperature or chilled in a Cordial glass.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Cocktails, Drink

Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Yield Makes 750ml

Number Of Ingredients 4

8-10 heads of elderflowers
100g golden or white caster sugar
1 lemon , zest removed with a peeler, ½ juiced
750ml vodka (reserving the bottle)

Steps:

  • Snip off the long green stalks of the elderflower, leaving enough to hold the flower heads together. Gently rinse the flower heads in water and check for bugs.
  • Push the flowers into the emptied vodka bottle or a jar, tip in the sugar and leave for 1 hr.
  • Add the lemon zest and juice and vodka to the bottle until it is completely full with no air space, keep any excess vodka to add back later. Seal and leave for 48 hrs. You can leave it for longer, but the flavour will change – it won’t necessarily taste more elderflowery.
  • Pour the vodka into a large bowl through a fine sieve (use muslin or a coffee filter, if you like). Add any remaining vodka, then pour into clean, sterilised bottles. Will keep for one month.
