Finally, 300 miles south of my normal residence, I've foraged some elderflowers for cordial making. The syrups cooling as I type ready to dook said flowers for a swim.
1lb sugar to one pint water, 10-15 flowers (shaken of beasties) will infuse in this syrupy mix with a lemon for 24-48 hours. Strain and bottle add a pinch if citric acid if required to taste.
Yum.
Yummy!

DeleteWe've not done any this year...which I'm cross about as I did intend to.
Congrats on your first drive by guerrilla forage :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful, such a taste of early summer, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI'd never made my own until a fellow blogger mentioned how easy it was, now I don't think Mr F would forgive me if I slacked on it!
DeleteThanks for this - I'll give it a go this weekend if I get a chance. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you did - I'm making a batch at a time and starting all over again. :) Its truly delish!
