Hi
I’m after a recipe of anyone has 1 for elderflower cordial that will store until next year.
It’s all 2 of my kids will drink and costs a flipping fortune. I have 12 bushes so want to use
Can anyone suggest a recipe to try please.
Thank you

I haven't got a recipe that works. We tried one using the bushes we have here and it was a complete disaster- tasted 'off'. We ended up asking a friend to bring some over from Waitrose. Yes, it was very expensive (and we avoided import duty).
Try your kids on some of the other cordials- peach, raspberry, strawberry etc.

You need citric acid to make sure it stays good.
I made it last year and the year before
I use the Country Living Recipe

It's delicious - I'm addicted to it too
I use it in soda water and in tonic
