It's that time of year! The elderflower is blooming in abundance and I was determined to make some cordial from them this year (since I discovered how to identify them at last)
I used played fast and loose with the recipe from here:
The changes I made were:
- Added less sugar - 1kg instead of 2 (My pot wasn't big enough!)
- Less citric acid - as a result of the less sugar, I added about 50g
- Lemons AND Oranges! - I threw in the rind of an orange too. Bonus yum.
And it has not disappointed at all. The kids keep asking for "Flower Juice" and we've gone through a bottle already. And it's such an easy recipe, you should hunt down some elderflowers and give it a try!
Oh! and I made a label for it which you can download. :)
