Ingredients

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cooking Time: None

Quantity: Makes 500g of Infused Sugar

• One large head of Elderflower
• 500g of Granulated Sugar

Method

1. Brush away any bugs from the Elderflower head. Add it to a 500ml clip-top jar and fill the jar with the sugar.
2. Leave the sugar to infuse for 3-5 days, gently shaking the jar daily.
3. Remove the Elderflower head after a 4-5 days or when it starts to turn brown.
4. The sugar will keep on a shelf for 3-6 months. Infused sugars have a tendency to clump together, so simply break it up with a spoon before use if this occurs.
