Elderflower Champagne 2011
We picked too many flowers this year 600g in all, and I did not want to waste them, so this will be a bit of an experiment. I also added more limes than last year.
The Recipe is as follows.
600g Flowers(after triming, approximately a carrier bag of flowers)
1kg Sugar
4 Lemons, 5 limes
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 gallons Hot Water
0.5 gallons of cold
Yeast 

After collecting all of the Elderflowers with the children. I shook off all the bugs, trimmed them and put them into a carrier bag for weighing.
I grated the lime and lemon zest and squeezed out all the juice into the bucket, then added the cup of vinegar and the full 600g of flowers.  I dissolved 1kg of sugar in 2 litres of hot water and added this to the bucket. I added a further 8 litres of hot water. THen a further 3 litres of cold. 
After the mixture had cooled I added a sprinkling of yeast.
