I went picking elderflowers with my daughter to make this delicious cordial. It is really simple to make. I serve it with ice, a slice of organic lemon and some fresh mint. You will need:
30 large elderflowers
3kg sugar
20g citric acid or juice of 4 lemons
Now all you need to do is to put elderflowers in cold water (I take a large salad bowl and cover it with plate), leave it for 48 hours, then strain (I take the flowers out, then use a gauze to strain the rest). Once you are left with just the liquid, you stir in the sugar and citric acid and mix till its all dissolved ( I put it in a rum pot and leave it on the window sill for a day or two, mixing in between to make it easier). You can then pour the syrup into bottles, mark it up with name and date and store it for up to a year.
