Elderflower Cordial
I’m not big on words this week, pictures are hitting the spot instead: very much enjoying these two visual blogs...
I’ve also been slurping elderflower cordial by the gallon. Elderflowers are everywhere at the mo’...
It’s common to use sugar/honey/citric acid when making elderflower drinks. I’m a fan of the honey version but felt like something lighter this year.
This worked well:
8 elderflower heads (some are large and some are small, so use your discretion)
Juice of half a lime
10 dried figs
Jug of water
Put everything into the jug and leave for a couple of days. Strain (eat the figs!) and store in the fridge. I drink this neat (due to the lack of sugar/honey it’s not really a cordial) but you can also dilute it for a subtler effect.
