Elderflower & Lemon Cordial

A beautiful summer drink to be diluted with water, so it will last. Tall glass, diluted cordial, sprig of mint & ice cubes, Mmmmmmmmm

This recipe was given to me by Katie Dixon, a lovely Facebook friend. Thank you Katie xxxxx

20 Elderflower heads
Juice of 6 lemons
1.5kg Sugar
1.2ltr (2.5 pints) Boiling water

In a large bowl (I used a bucket) put the elderflowers squeeze the juice of all the lemons & add the grated rind if you like. I added the rind it gives a lovely zing. Mix in the sugar.
Pour over the boiling water & stir till the sugar has dissolved. Skim of scum if needs be & cover with a clean cloth.
Stir the mixture twice a day for five days.
Strain the mixture through a muslin cloth, (be careful not to spill it as its very sticky, into sterilised bottles & refrigerate. You can freeze it in plastic bottles too.
Dilute with water add ice cubes a slice of lemon & sprig of mint & enjoy on hot summer days :D
