You need a bottle of elderflower champers using the best of elderflowers plucked a month ago from the trees just a few yards down the road from you.

Just discovered there is a variety of pink elderflower off a very attractive black limbed elder tree. Makes pink champagne.

1 gallon of water, 1 lemon quartered and sliced. 1 kg of sugar – 10 heads of elderflower – leave for 1 week. Seal in glass bottle with serious good corks (grolsche beer bottles are the one you need). 3-4 week later….enjoy. Very explosive fizz – so do not open indoors.

What else can we make booze from?
