Elderflower cordial

Ingredients

20 heads of elderflower
1kg
granulated or castor sugar
1.2 litres of water
2 unwaxed lemons
75gm
wine vinegar

Method

1.Shake the elderflowers to expel any lingering
insects and place them (the elderflowers, not the insects) in a large
bowl

2.Put the sugar in a pan with the water and bring to the boil,
stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.

3.While the sugar is
heating, pare the zest of the lemons of in wide strips and toss into the
bowl.
Slice the lemons and put into the bowl. Pour over the boiling
syrup carefully, as extremely hot, and stir in the vinegar.
Cover with a
cloth and leave at room temperature for 24 hours.

4.Next day strain the
cordial through a sieve lined with muslin (or a jay cloth rinsed out in
boiling water) and pour into thoroughly cleaned glass or plastic
bottles. Screw on the lids and keep in fridge ready for use.

Serving:
Dilute the cordial to taste with water. Extra special with fizzy water,
ice and a slice of lemon.
