We originally made the elderflower cordial to flavour the cream in our lemon and elderflower buns. Realising that it is a delicious taste of summer, we started to use it as a refreshing drink diluted with water or (for a weekend treat) with sparkling wine.
The cordial is made by steeping elderflowers from our garden in a sugar syrup with lemon and lime slices. A pinch of citric acid is added and that's it. After 24 hours the concoction is strained through muslin and bottled. Each bottle of cordial will keep for two months, if refrigerated.
The rhubarb cordial is made in a similar way but the sugar syrup is flavoured with orange slices and vanilla.
The cordial is available in 250ml reusable glass bottles.
