Ophelia asked me to post it so:
ELDERFLOWER CORDIAL

90 heads of Elder flower, picked at mid-day

6 sliced lemons

9lbs. Preserving sugar (Caster will do but Preserving is better)

7.5 oz. Citric or Tartaric acid

Put all the ingredients into a large bowl or clean plastic bucket. *Add 7.5
pints boiling water.

Stir night and day for 5 days. *Strain, squeezing the lemons. *Put into
plastic bottles and deep freeze. *Take out only when wanted, and refrigerate
as it won¹t keep out of the freezer for more than 5 to 7 days.

Dilute with water to taste.

This makes a very refreshing drink in hot weater.

Undiluted, it¹s also good on gooseberries or over fruit salad.

Groan,... groan and moan... My husband keeps on asking about this,
please Sacha, can you 'phone him, I am up to "here" with elderflower
cordial. He also says can you tell him about ice cream? I have to go
to bed, over to you and him. For years,a flipping lifetime, he goes
on about elderflower stuff, right? over to you?
