collect about 30 elder umbels — sambucus nigra is in bloom now and can easily be found in public parcs or forests.
bring 2 liters of water to boil and dissolve 2 kg of sugar. add the blossoms as well as 3 sliced lemons (preferably organic ones). leave to rest for about 2 days.
filter your potion, bring it to boil again, and add 40 grams of citric acid. bottle in sterilized glass and indulge your kids, friends and neighbors — either with lemonade (mixed about 1:5 with water), or in any dangerous alcoholic variant (e.g. with champagne or white wine). enjoy!

gauchos, mountain peaks, tango, patagonia, steak — nope, none of these are argentinia's most valuable export, but: properly aged piss.
200 000 litres of postmenopausal urine can yield one gram of gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1, which is enough for 2000 doses of fertility promoting medication. further details about grannies pissing into tupperware containers here (via reddit).
