You soak the flowers in cold water, add the citric acid, and let it sit for 24 hours. After that, you strain it, stir in the sugar, the lemon juice, and the preservative. Once everything is fully dissolved, you strain it one more time.
I actually doubled the batch this time, so I ended up with 25 liters of syrup. 😁
Maybe people on other forums are losing their minds over this recipe, but I did something similar—just less citric acid, no lemon, and no preservatives—and it turned out perfectly fine. It’s meant for diluting, and I don't like things too sweet, so I don't use much syrup. From this amount (80 blossoms, 8 kg sugar, and 200g citric acid), I got 10.5 liters of syrup. 😍
My digestion remains steady. ☕
