Just been picking the last of the Elderflowers to make cordial – here’s a great recipe below that we always use at Cotna Eco Retreat:
750ml water
1kg sugar
1 lemon (ideally unwaxed)
25g Citric Acid (from health food shops, brewing departments, greengrocers)
15-20 elderflower heads
- Heat water & dissolve sugar in it
- Grate the zest of the lemon & add to sugar water
- Half-squeeze the lemons & cut into slices, add to mix
- Add citric acid & elderflower heads
- leave to steep for 12-24 hours
- Sieve & bottle
