Ingredients
- 20 heads Fresh elderflower heads
- 4 cups Water
- 2 cups Granular erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Citric acid
Directions
Step 1
Begin by shaking the fresh elderflower heads lightly to remove any insects or debris, then trim away the thicker green stems as they can impart bitterness to the syrup.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, bring the 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the 2 cups of granular erythritol to the simmering water, stirring continuously until it has completely dissolved and the mixture is clear.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon of citric acid until well combined.
Step 5
Place the prepared elderflower heads into the saucepan, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid.
Step 6
Cover the saucepan with a clean kitchen cloth and let the mixture steep at room temperature for 48 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 7
After steeping, use a fine-mesh sieve or a piece of cheesecloth to strain the liquid into a clean saucepan, discarding any solids.
Step 8
Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer for about 10-15 minutes to slightly thicken the syrup.
Step 9
Allow the syrup to cool, then transfer it to sterilized glass bottles or jars, sealing tightly.
Step 10
Store the elderflower syrup in the refrigerator for up to four weeks. Enjoy it as a sweetener in your keto-friendly beverages or desserts.
