Sure
10 large flower heads
1-1.5lb granulated sugar (I prefer less, I don’t have a hugely sweet tooth)
2 lemons (rind and juice)
2 litres of boiling water to dissolve sugar
6 litres cold water
Pick flowers, shake to remove bugs but don’t wash. Remove stalks, picture attached. Add to container capable of holding all liquid. Rind and juice 2 lemons and add. Dissolve sugar into 2 litres of boiling water. Add cold water to hot and add to flowers and lemon. Stir and leave in a shady place and covered. Stir daily, after 2 days you should see bubbles starting to form on surface, this is the yeast working. You can sieve at this point but, I prefer to leave it a further two days to stoop. Strain through a Muslim to remove flowers and lemon. Leave last bits to drain overnight but don’t squeeze it will cloud up your final drink. Transfer to sterilised bottles with removable lids such as image attached, but pop bottles work too. Don’t use standard wine bottle though they aren’t strong enough, and might explode under pressure. Leave bottles on the counter for 1 week and burp daily. (Unscrew and resealable lids, to remove excess carbon dioxide), refrigerate for a further week burping alternative days. Start drink after two weeks.

A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.
