Elderflower Cordial Recipe

June is the perfect time of year to make this wonderfully refreshing drink with a heavenly flowery fragrance. It is perfect for British summer. We like to mix ours with lemonade or sparkling water with plenty of ice and a slice of lemon. The annual ritual of harvesting the elderflowers and enjoying the aroma throughout the house as we prepare the elixir gives us a sense of well being.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy
Many recipes recommend using citric acid and that’s great if you want to make a big batch to last throughout the year but our little recipe is tested and proven for the more impromptu of us. Those who will just jump up and make it on a whim with the sugar and lemons usually already in the kitchen and ready to go!
