Elderflower Cordial

Description: I add the blossoms at the very end of the process - after the syrup base is made - so their fragrance has as little chance as possible to cook off. The result is properly floral: fresh-tasting, lemon-lifted, and nothing like the synthetic versions.

Mix with sparkling water in summer, add a splash to prosecco, or a small measure in hot water in winter.

Ingredients: Organic unrefined sugar, elderflowers, citric acid, lemon zest and juice.

How to use: Dilute to taste - roughly 1 part cordial to 8–10 parts water as a starting point.
