Elderflower Cordial

Elderflower Cordial

In Britain, elderflower cordial is loved for its delicate yet citrus-sharp flavour. That makes it perfect both in refreshing soft drinks and in cocktails – it gets on famously with gin. Elderflower syrup also works beautifully in fools, puddings, baked desserts, creams and jellies, and a few drops turn a meat sauce into something quite original. This recipe needs no cooking, and it certainly won't go to waste in your storecupboard.
