Ingredients

- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons elderflower syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

- For an added burst of color and flavor, try adding a few whole berries like blueberries or raspberries to each glass.
- Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, especially on warm days.
Storage and Substitutions
Refrigerate any leftover grape and elderflower mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Before serving, give it a good stir and add fresh mint leaves to brighten the flavors.
For variations, you can replace grapes with other seasonal fruits like strawberries or peaches; just adjust the elderflower syrup to taste.
