Well, some people add a little yeast. You know, yeast + sugar + water = booze. Does flavour even matter? :rofl:

It's that time of year again, our elderberry bush has bloomed and my wife has made the cider again. Tastes amazing!

Emptied the large jar in bottles. It sat out in the sun for a few days.

A little bubbly and sweet and sour with a subtle taste of elderberry flowers!

There really isn’t anything like enjoying something you grew and harvested. It just seems to taste a little better. Well done @Eugen ! :thumbsup:
