Default fruit acidity

The message
from Sacha contains these words:

Lack of sun does affect ripening and sweetness. One thing you can do a
little earlier in the year is collect elder flowers and make elderflower
cordial which is, admittedly, made with a lot of sugar but still retains a
certain tartness and tastes wonderful poured over gooseberries especially.


May I suggest that you use tartaric acid instead of citric?

IMO elderflower cordial has horrid undertones of cheap lemonade.
