Elderflower Cordial
We finished making our elderflower cordial/syrup today. To be honest I wasn't really that fussed about finding elderflower this year as we made cordial last year and the cordial we made I didn't really like and normally I love all things elderflower but I decided to try again this year and this time it turned out so delicious! Now I'm hoping to be able to forage enough for some more before their season ends!

- 23g citric acid
- About 15 flower heads

How To Do It:
1. Prepare your Elderflower by letting it sit on some paper towel for a few hours to get as many bugs off as possible. Then remove as much as you can of the green stems.
2. Combine sugar, water, citric acid into a pan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
3. Once at room temperature pour into a jug and add your elderflower and lemon.
4. Let seep for 48 hours then strain and enjoy!
