May is the period when all the flowers begin to bloom. Lilac is also common. You can smell from afar, and you will taste great by making homemade elderberry syrup. Use it to make your own ice cream, cocktails, or add it to plain water to change its taste. A recipe for homemade lilac syrup can be found below.

What is needed to make such a syrup?

  • 45 lilac flowers
  • 2 lemons
  • 5 glasses of sugar
  • 10 glasses of hot water.

It is best to choose flowers from a purple plant variety. They are more aromatic than white, and not only does the syrup smell stronger, but you can also use it as a coloring agent for homemade food.

The first thing to do is rinse the flowers thoroughly and separate the stems from the individual flowers. Pour the prepared flowers into a large pot, add sugar and cut into slices of lemon. Pour in hot water and refrigerate.

The syrup should stand in the refrigerator for two days. After this time, pour it through a thick sieve and pour it into a tightly closed bottle. You can freeze part of the syrup and use it in winter. Add the rest to homemade cakes, smoothies, or desserts.
