Add 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar to the water.

Place the elderflowers into the water mixture.

Stir to combine all ingredients and let it sit for 24 hours.

After 24 hours, strain the mixture to remove the elderflowers and lemon slices.

Use a funnel to bottle the elderflower champagne into champagne bottles, leaving a little space at the top.

Seal the bottles and let them sit for a month before opening.
