Elderberry tincture
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Don't be confused by the label "mead"—I collect small bottles for infusions and liqueurs. Remember, alcoholic beverages must not be stored in plastic bottles! I'll explain and show you. Serve chilled.

Step 2
Shake the flower heads well to remove dust and insects. There is no need to wash them. Remove thick stems, leaving as little greenery as possible—only the flowers. Boil water and let it cool! Add lemon acid to the water, then submerge the flowers in the solution for 24 hours.
