- Wash orange and lemon with hot water. Cut into slices. Yes, the peel stays with them. In a large pot cook water and sugar until sugar has dissolved plus 10 minutes.
- Carefully wash the elderflowers and drain. If you know they are already clean when picked just shake out insects that might possibly be in the flowers and try to keep the pollen. In a big glass jar layer the slices of the citrus fruits with the umbels. Pour over the warm, but not too hot syrup and cover with a kitchen towel.

- Enjoy with water or sparkling wine. Can also recommend the here very popular combination of sparkling wine, elderflower syrup, a little water and a branch of mint as aperitif (an alternative to Aperol spritz).
