I'm just starting the first batch of cordial today as there are finally 30 heads flowering, and hopefully lots more to come and enough to leave for berries later too

I don't think of it as just for kids as an alternative to grown up champagne at all.. In fact when I'm working and need hydration or tired and need a bit of a lift, it's just sweet enough and refreshing enough to avoid reaching for a biscuit, so I think of it as a health food even not knowing about the flu remedy part til now

I'm tempted to try my first batch of ice cream with a bit of EC in it later on, but I've not made the cordial yet (my first batch of nettle is going down fine tho so fingers crossed!)..
