Last Sunday I went out early on my bike.
At half past nine I already had harvested some elderflowers.
At 12 oçlock I was back home with 2 large bags of elderblossom.

I let them sit in the bag.

This is the easiest way to harvest elderflowers.
You can read the complete story here.

So the next day I took the bags and started shaking.

I harvested 4 liter pure rich smelling flowers.
Enough for 4o liter wine.

I am making 10 liter with honey and 30 liter with plain table sugar.

You can find me recipe here:

I hope to have time to go out to harvest again.
I am planning to make another 30 liter but it will be short notice before my holliday.
At least these 2 batches are safe.

For my honey variation just follow my plain recipe and substitute the sugar by honey.

Any of you already harvesting ???
