Ingredients

  • 1 cup lilac florets rinsed and green parts removed (30 g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 200 g
  • 1 cup water 237 ml
  • ½ teaspoon acai powder 1–2 g
  • 5 blueberries preferably wild; optional
  • Fresh lime juice to taste

Instructions

  • Remove the lilac florets from their stems, discarding any green parts. Rinse well in cold water and place in a large non-metal bowl.
  • In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Stir in the acai powder and optional blueberries. Squeeze in a little fresh lime juice to brighten the flavor.
  • Let the syrup cool to lukewarm, then pour it over the lilac florets.
  • Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate for 12–18 hours to infuse.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle. Gently press the lilacs with a spoon to release all liquid.
