IngredientsAround 30 Elderflower heads2 unwaxed lemons, sliced 50g Citric Acid (from pharmacy) 1.8 kg granulated sugar 1.5 litres water, boiled |
Handy HintI tend to split the elderflowers/sugar/lemons/citric acid evenly between two bowls to make them more manageable (I keep them in the airing cupboard for 7 days) |

Method1. Collect the elderflower heads when they're at their best - bring them home and gently shake out onto a surface - leave them for 15 minutes or so (there will be some small bugs in there and they'll just scuttle out!)2. Snip the flowers into a large mixing bowl and stir in the granulated sugar, citric acid and sliced lemons. 3. Pour over the freshly boiled water and stir until dissolved. 4. Cover with a clean cloth and put in a cool dry place for 5 - 7 days, stirring every day. 5. After this time, strain the liquid (you can use muslin or commercially bought strainer) and bottle. I put mine into cordial bottles and keep in the fridge - I usually put one plastic bottle into the freezer too. Serve 30-45ml into a glass and add soda water, sparkling mineral water or, my son's favourite, sugar-free lemonade - ice optional but I prefer it! |
