You gotta embrace nature whenever possible and harvest its goodness, so I kit myself up, employ 2 hairy biker friends to assist me in my foragings... for a first attempt at elderflower wine.
1. Pick flowers from above waist height in the sunshine before 2pm
2. Make sure that they smell sweet and not like cat piss. (apparently there are 220 types)
3. Strip the flowers from the stalks by gently brushing them with a fork
Followed by flower forking, mixing, fermenting and brewing...
