Steps:
- Read our guides on how to clean brewing equipment and home brewing safety tips before you get started. Trim the elderflower florets off the stems with scissors or a wide-toothed comb into a clean bucket.
- Add the sultanas, lemon zest and juice to the bucket. Dissolve the sugar and citric acid in 2l boiling water and pour into the bucket. Cover and leave for 8 hours or overnight to steep.
- Add the tea and 2.5l cold water, stir, then sprinkle the yeast over. Cover and leave in a moderate (15-20C) spot, out of the sunlight, to ferment until the foam has died down - this usually takes five days, but could be up to 14.
- Transfer into a clean bucket or demijohn, leaving the sediment behind. Top up to 4.5l with cooled boiled water if desired. Cover tightly (a lid with an airlock is recommended). Leave to ferment, this usually takes six weeks (little trails of bubbles are a visual indicator).
- When the liquid stops bubbling and clears a little, transfer to a clean bucket, leaving the sediment behind and adding the campden tablet. Leave to clear, which may take a few months, then decant into sterilised bottles. Store in a cool, dark place. The wine will improve for up to 18 months.

Steps:
- Add sugar and water and stir till the sugar is dissolved
- Add the elderflower heads, lemon, vinegar and yeast
- Cover with a muslin cloth (to allow air out, but no bugs in)
- Elderflower heads should have enough natural yeast on them to get themselves going. If after 24 hours there doesn't seem to be any fermentation (no bubbles) add a teaspoon of bread, champagne or white wine yeast.
- Leave to ferment a further 4 days, then lay the muslin inside your regular sieve and pour the liquid out so that it catches all the plant matter in the sieve. This is where I pour it into the demijohn and place the bulb into the cork.
- Put some water into the bulbs - this allows the gas to escape but doesn't let air in and leave for 3 - 4 days while it ferments further.
- From here, add a half teaspoon fine white sugar to your 500ml bottles, and decant the champagne into individual bottles. Check from time to time so that they don't explode, but set aside for 2 weeks.
- Chill before serving - there may be sediment at the bottom of the bottle, so don't pour it out all the way.

Something a little different that I found in a cook book of mine. Sounds very easy and well worth trying! Times are rest times until drinkable.
