Homemade Elderflower Wine
Homemade elderflower wine is a refreshing summer drink that is easy to make from black elderflowers. Roman Paulus's recipe is beginner-friendly and perfect for enjoying with friends. You can adjust the flavour to your taste – sweeter, more sour, with cinnamon and cloves or star anise. After a few days of fermentation, you get a drink you will happily return to every year.
