Elderflower Cordial
Report
A delicate and fragrant cordial, perfect with sparkling water or in a cocktail.
Share:
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups sugar (caster, granulated or white)
- 4 cups water (one litre)
- 8-10 heads elderflower
- 2 medium lemons (sliced)
- 3 teaspoons tartaric acid
Instructions
- Dip elderflower head gently in water and then add to saucepan.
- Add water, sliced lemon and tartaric acid into the saucepan and then bring to the boil. Take off the heat and leave overnight, covered.
- The next day, remove as much of the lemon and elderflower as possible using tongs and discard.
- Add sugar to the mixture in the saucepan and stir over low heat to dissolve. Then bring to the boil and remove from heat immediately once it boils.
- Allow to cool.
- Strain using muslin cloth, pour into sterilised bottles and seal with lids.
Notes
- Enjoying: Enjoy Elderflower Cordial with champagne, mix up a Gin and Elderflower cocktail or add it to a summer punch. At dessert time, you could splash some over ice-cream, use it instead of grenadine in my Festive Fruit Cups or flavour icing for a Sponge Cake with it
- Storing: Your cordial should keep in the fridge for up to a few months. It could also be bottled for shelf storage, though you will need to rely on your own research and knowledge of bottling and preserving.
