It's elderflower cordial time. I've never made it before but I have heard that the flowers are now in bloom so I must act fast. And besides, my lemon cordial from last year has just run out so this seems like a suitable means of replenishment.
I even filched a recipe from Jackie. Something like the following:
1 litre water
2 kg sugar
Citric acid (from Chemist), say 50 grams
2 lemons
18 good heads of elderflower
Add sugar to water and heat to dissolve. Toss in all the other ingredients and leave to steep for a while - I'll try overnight. Then squeeze/strain out ingredients and bottle remaining syrup. Drink during hot summer months by diluting say 1:10 parts water to taste. I will give it a go and report back.
