**Holunder Amaretto Likor**

**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups elderflower heads
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 1/2 cups sugar
– 2 cups water
– 1 1/2 cups amaretto liqueur

**Instructions:**
1. Begin by gently rinsing the elderflower heads under cold water to remove any debris. Allow them to air dry on a clean kitchen towel.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
3. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the elderflower heads. Stir gently to ensure all the flowers are submerged in the syrup.
4. Cover the saucepan with a lid or kitchen towel and let the elderflower mixture steep at room temperature for 24 hours. This allows the flavors to infuse fully.
5. After 24 hours, strain the elderflower syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl. Discard the elderflower heads and lemon zest.
6. Once the syrup has been strained, stir in the amaretto liqueur until well combined.
7. Using a funnel, pour the Holunder Amaretto Likor into clean, sterilized glass bottles with airtight seals. Store the liqueur in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
8. Remember to shake the bottle gently every few days to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
