Muesli bar’s in the making

Today we tried making muesli bar’s, it was our first attempt. They turned out more like cruesli, because they did not form a bar, the whole mixture  just falls apart. And I did use lots of ‘glue’.  You know,  honey and butter.  So I have no clue what happened.  But still it tastes good. It will be yoghurt with this delicious mixture in the coming mornings then. Except I don’t know about the butter and yoghurt combination, hope it will be okay..

Any tips on how to make the mixture more together are welcome by the way..

Made some ElderFlower lemonade this weekend...hmmmmm

I love the beauty of the Elderflower. She is magical to me..This year i was somewhat hypnotized by her. I wonder what that means? There are all sorts of stories about her to be found on the internet. In those stories the elderflower is often being portrait as a symbol of wisdom and protection of the homestead and even of the dead. I just don't know why i am drawn to it this year so strongly..I wonder...

... Here i have harvested the Elderflower. I am ready to pull off the flowers so they can be put in the glaze pot. I want just the white flowers to be in there without any of the green parts.

Put all the delightful white flowers into a closed glaze pot filled with water and just let it rest on a shelf for 2 days. This way the elderflowers' enchanting smell and taste will be pulled from the flowers into the water. This water becomes the lemonade later on. 

After 2 days you sif the water really well in a super clean kitchen towel. then you put it in a pan on your stove and add lemon and sugar to it. I have used 1 kilo of sugar for 3 liters of water, and 3 organic lemons as well. 

Then you boil the water and the sugar really well...and put it into the sterilized bottles you have prepared...
