elderberry liqueur

Recipe for elderberry liqueur from here

In a quart jar:

- 2 cups fresh cleaned elderberries (no stems, etc.)

- 3 one-inch pieces of lemon rind (no white pith)

- fill up the jar with vodka

Leave it in a dark cupboard for a few months.  Gently shake it occasionally.

When it's dark enough, strain out the berries.  

Add 1/4-1/3 cup sugar (to taste) and let it sit a few more days for sugar to fully dissolve.

*I think that I'll add honey instead of sugar, and next time I'll try it with bourbon.
