This looks very nice. A great idea, instead of me always making cordial.

This has been added to my (already incredible long) list of recipe TODO’s

Becky: It really is delicious, I’ve tried it with soda to make a long drink and its really refreshing. All the home made fruit vodka’s are lovely, the process makes them smooth but not too strong shorts and lovely mixers with wine or fizz. Let me know how your’s turns out.

Helen: I like the extra protein argument, good one

I strained my cordial when no one was looking and disposed of the bugs. Extra protein, makes it a complete meal.

I’ve wanted to do this – but the only elderflowers around here are in others’ gardens… Sob.

That is genius.

Why did I not think of that when making my cordial the other weekend?

I find that getting it bug free is harder than you think and there are considerably less bugs in the early morning.
