👨‍🍳 Instructions

Do not wash the flower, but remove any insects and the thick stalks.

Place the sugar in a very large bowl and cover with 2 pints of boiling water.

Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

Then add 6 pints cold water, the rind and juice of the lemons, the vinegar and flowers.

Stir well.

Cover and leave, covered, for 48 hours, stirring occasionally.

Strain through a fine sieve into clean bottles with screw tops.

Leave an inch gap at the top of each bottle and screw down well.

Leave in a cool place to mature. Nice served with ice. Ready to drink in 6 weeks but it tastes better the longer it is left.
