8. Boil for a while
9. Pour into two 1L bottles and leave for a while
10. Add gin/vodka/soda/lemonade/
11. Appreciate buying from supermarket cheaper
Very funny; glad you remove the boiled wildlife. Am hoping husband does NOT see this. He used to go into production with the elderflower champagne. Then we had to try and drink it all before the bottles exploded!
