I loved to walk! My best proofs I found on the path, my students struggling to keep up on the trails. In June, the elder is laden with white flowers at the roadside—you pick handfuls in the sun, let them infuse with lemon, and you get this straw-colored syrup. Pour a finger of it into a tall glass of fresh water: that's all you need to resume the road and the reasoning.
Ingredients
- •Elderflower umbels — a large armful (floral aroma)
- •Sugar — equal to water (preservation and sweetness)
- •Water — a large pot (base)
- •Lemon — a few (acidity and freshness)
How it was made : Before industrial drinks, elder was the pharmacy and lemonade of Germanic countryside: flowers in syrup in summer, berries in jelly in autumn. Every family picked their Holler along the paths.
