  • 1 cup water
  • 1 bag elderflower tea
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • Add the sugar to the saucepan and whisk until completely dissolved. 
  • Discard the tea bag and allow to cool completely. 
  • Decant into a clean jar or bottle and keep for 2-3 weeks in the fridge. 

Notes

Syrup keeps for 2-3 weeks in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
If it starts to look cloudy or forms any films, you should dispose of it immediately. 
To make a rich elderflower cordial syrup:
Double the amount of sugar, but keep the water amount the same. 
Keep the rich syrup for 4-6 weeks in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer.
