Syrup Preparation
Create the elderflower syrup
In a saucepan, combine the elderflowers and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add sugar
Once boiling, add the granulated sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
Add lemon and citric acid
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the lemon juice and citric acid. Stir well to combine.
Infuse
Cover the saucepan and let the mixture steep for about 30 minutes to extract the floral flavor.
Strain the syrup
After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar to remove the elderflowers.
Cool
Let the syrup cool completely before using.
Soda Assembly
Combine syrup and sparkling water
In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of the elderflower syrup with 4 cups of sparkling water. Adjust sweetness by adding more syrup if desired.
Serve over ice
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the elderflower soda mixture over the ice.
