Elderflower Cordial with Honey

How to Make Elderflower Cordial with Honey

Start by collecting about 10 heads of elderflower blossoms, rinse throughly, you can’t imagine how many bugs I got out of mine! Let them dry.

In a 32 ounce jar, place blossoms, stems removed.

Pour in 1 cup of raw honey, yes honey! I opted to do this instead of sugar. If you’ve been around a while, you know I love honey for the taste AND benefits.

Next, add in about 4 slices of organic lemon.

Fill the rest of the jar with warm water.

Mix well until the honey dissolves.

Cover and let sit for 2 days.

It is normal for the flowers to brown a little!

Strain out the flowers & lemon slices, the liquid is then your cordial

Using Your Elderflower Cordial

You can use this as is, much like a syrup. Perfect to add to lemonade, cocktails, or a splash in mineral water. To take it a step further, freeze some up like I did! Pouring the cordial into an ice tray preserves the sweet liquid. Not to mention, how perfect are the cubes for portioning when making a drink! I use 2 cordial cubes, then fill the rest of my cup up with sparkling mineral water. It’s delicious! Keep your unfrozen cordial in the fridge, it will last a couple weeks.
