Elderflower liqueur

When we were last in France, the weather went very warm, and would have been perfect for making the elderflower liqueur I'd planned to make...

Except that we went to Paris for a wedding [which was lovely!], and then we had a load of plants that needed to planted more urgently.

 And then, of course, it started raining!  So I couldn't pick the flowers because they were wringing wet.

Finally, we had a warm, dry morning, and I picked about 34 heads of elderflowers, and took the flowers off as much of the stem as possible.  Filled a 1.5 litre jar and filled with alcohol.

I think I've probably left it too late, and the rain may have washed away to best of the flavour, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
