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.
