Elderberry flower syrup
This beautiful, and delicate syrup can be made from elderberry flowers which grow in the Kootenays this time of year.
You pick the flowers and soak them in a litre of water with the juice and some of the zest of three lemons for three days. You then strain the water, removing the solids. To this add stevia to taste, and refrigerate.
