Distilling Homemade Elderflower Wine

What I used for the Elderflower Wine Recipe : 1 Ltr Elderflowers 1.2 kg Sugar with 1.5 Ltr Hot Water Added 3 Ltr Cold Water to make 4.5Ltr or 1 Gallon 1 tsp Citric Acid or 1 Lemon Juice 1 tsp Tannin or 1 Cup Strong Tea 1 tsp Yeast Nutrient 1 tsp Wine Yeast Then I used 400ml of the Distilled Wine @ 61% abv Mixed with 200ml of a 1 to 1 Sugar Syrup To make 600ml of 40% abv Elderflower Brandy The Lemon version was same as above, but with an added strip of Lemon Zest Only leave in Brandy for a few minutes Or you might overpower the Elderflower Apple Concentrate didn’t work well for me But it may be worth adding a slice of fresh Apple
