Preparation method

How do you make this?

Bring the sugar, cloves, lemongrass stalks, and sliced ginger to a boil in a large pot.

Let the mixture simmer for ten minutes, then add 500 ml of water.

Add the lime juice and peel. Cover the pot and let it steep for a day to allow the flavors to meld together.

Strain the mixture thoroughly and add the elderflower petals. Make sure to remove the stems.

Pour the syrup mixture into a large bottle and add the lemongrass stalks for an extra touch.

When you're ready to serve, dilute the syrup with cold sparkling water to taste, or use it as a base for other drinks.
