HOMEMADE ELDERFLOWER CORDIAL. 15 heads of elderflower. 500g caster sugar. 4 tablespoons quality runny honey. 2 unwaxed lemons. Wash the elderflower well, picking off any bugs. Place the sugar and honey in a large saucepan with 1 litre of water. Gently bring to the boil, until all the sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat.
Sugar Free Elderflower Cordial is a delightfully tasty drink that is a reminder that it is summer. It is a beautiful delicate white flower that reminds me of stars.
We recommend storing our cordial in the fridge and use it up in about a month, just to be on the safe side. Homemade Elderflower Cordial is a refreshing summer drink that is super easy to make and uses less sugar. Pour water in a pot, add sugars and citric acid, and bring to a boil.
Method Gently rinse over the elderflowers to remove any dirt or little creatures. Pour the boiling water over the sugar in a very large mixing bowl. Add the citric acid, the orange and lemon slices, and then the flowers. Leave in a cool place for 24 hours, stirring occasionally. Strain through some muslin and transfer to sterilised bottles.
