It’s been a good year for elderflowers. On a warm day the sweet smell of the blooms is a treat as you cycle past the hedgerows. In the winter a glass of home made elderflower cordial is a nice taste of summer when its wet and cold outside so it’s nice to make it now before the flowers die off. We headed out on the bicycles and collected a good crop before turning it into a few litres of sweet cordial. To me it feels like bottling summer. We used this recipe from River Cottage.
