... tastes very refreshing and is not too sweet. The syrup can be diluted with water as desired - our suggestion: 1:7.
Ingredients: 60% elderflower extract (water, high proportion of elderflowers), sugar, juice of the Northern Lemon (Chaenomeles japonica or also Cido).
Depending on the weather (autumn must be warm, otherwise the harvest will fail), the black and blue elderberries are sometimes also made into syrup and fruit spreads.
Info on the Nordic lemon The Nordic lemon contains more vitamin C than the conventional lemon. Temperatures as low as -40°C are no problem for them. That is why it is ideally suited for cultivation in our fields. Originally it comes from Latvia, where it is still cultivated and used today as 'the' lemon. Its fruit is very acidic and not suitable for immediate fresh consumption. We use the juice of the Nordic lemons as a substitute for citric acid, which is partly produced artificially. The plant of the Nordic lemon blossoms fiery red from April to June and has a refreshing fragrance. The fruits are harvested in mid-October.
