Can our homemade ELDERFLOWER LIQUEUR rival the famous St.Germain

In this video we make a homemade elderflower liqueur and compare it to the famous St. Germain liqueur in a blind test. My daughter then tests both versions in a cocktail made with garden fresh strawberries and thyme.

Pull the flowers gently from the stalks, place in a glass jar and pour over the vodka. Place a weight (I use a small ramekin) on top to keep the flowers submerged. Leave for 2 weeks in a cool, dark place. Strain through a sieve. In a small pan over a gentle heat dissolve the sugar in the water, let cool before adding to the rest. Bottle and store in a cool dark place. Keeps well.
