Darovi narave / Fruits of nature

Bezgov sirup je moja najljubša pijača. Z njim me vedno razvaja moja nona. Letos pa sem se morala kar sama lotiti dela. No, da ne bo pomote. Doma me čaka kar nekaj litrov sirupa. Ampak tukaj sem bolj na tesnem z njim.

Recept:

3 l vode

3 kg sladkorja

40 cvetov

5 limone

V vodo stresemo sladkor in zavremo. Odstavimo in pustimo, da se malo ohladi. Medtem operemo, olupimo in narežemo limone. Čez čas damo bezgove cvetove in limone v sladko vodo. Pustimo stati 24 ur. Sirup odcedimo, nalijemo v steklenice in jih zaprte postavimo v klet.

Elder blossom syrup is my favourite drink. My grandma makes is for me every year. There are few litres of fresh syrup waiting for me back home. Thank you, Nona.

For the time of our stay in England I made it some myself. It turned out to be really good.

Mmmm.

Try it.
