.elderflower lemonade.

I made eldeflower lemonade this week. 

Here is the recipe:

Makes 5 liters.

20 clean fresh elderflower heads

800 gr sugar

10 organic lemons

10 raisins

2 tbsp of cider vinegar

8 liter of water

In one big recipient (or two if you don't have a big enough one), put the clean flowers, sugar, sliced lemons (it may better to take most of the zest off, as mine became a bit bitter), raisins and vinegar. Top up with still water. Put in the sun covered with a towel for 3 or 5 days (until you see bubbles coming up). Then strain into lemonade bottles and keep cool for 2 weeks. 

Serve chilled with some mint leaves.

The reason i've been away from blogging the past few days is that:

Last months in Sussex #1 May

Lost animal in the neighbourhood.

I say last months, a few months, in comparison with the time I spent here. The older you get, the quicker time flies. I have a bit more than two months to go until the final flight/ride/train journey. Two months to work, to organise myself for the moving, to discover and enjoy more the county, the night life in Brighton, festivals, etc...

So here, some pics from may so far.
The Hugest poppies I've ever seen in my life. As big as my hand!
