Remove the green parts (stems), that bring bitterness and only keep the little flowers. (You can use a clean comb). Place the flowers in a large jar, with the water, the sugar, the vinegar, the dried grapes and the lemon cut into slices.<\/p>\n<p>Close the jar in a non-airtight way, with a clean cloth and an elastic ring, and allow to macerate, if possible exposed to the sun, for 3 to 5 days, stirring twice a day. When small bubbles appear and the dried grapes come up to the surface, it\u2019s time to drain the champagne. Use a clean cloth or a coffee filter, and pour the champagne in pre-boiled bottles with screw cap or lemonade bottle type of closure.<\/p>\n<p>Wait about two more weeks before drinking, to allow the carbonisation to operate.<\/p>\n<p>Store the Fairies\u2019 bubbles in a dry, cool place, away from light and it will last for a few months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; float: none; display: block; visibility: hidden; width: 0px; font-size: 0px; line-height: 0;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"csRow\">\n<div class=\"csColumn\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 37%;\" data-csstartpoint=\"0\" data-csendpoint=\"355\" data-cswidth=\"37.0%\" data-csid=\"f56ee4a8-2a60-9c19-8f19-4367fa73e407\">\n<p><strong>Elderflowers wine<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 bottle of white wine of 75ml <em>(1\/3 cup)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>75g <em>(1\/3 cup) <\/em>of granulated sugar<\/li>\n<li>3 or 4 elderflowers umbels<\/li>\n<li>10ml <em>(2 tsp)<\/em> of alcohol for fruits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csColumnGap\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 1.04%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/les-petits-bonheurs.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/advanced-wp-columns\/assets\/js\/plugins\/views\/img\/1x1-pixel.png\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"csColumn\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 62%;\" data-csstartpoint=\"365\" data-csendpoint=\"960\" data-cswidth=\"62.0%\" data-csid=\"5080a194-991b-f553-ade7-4a3a8f44d04a\">\n<p>In a 1 liter bottle, place the flowers (prepared as for the champagne), the wine, the sugar, and the alcohol for fruits.
