We make it the same way you make your cordial above however once made we put the mixture in a large glass jar covered with a cheese cloth instead of the lid in a sunny window for 3 days to a week stirring every day until the mixture ferments enough to make it “fizzy”. Then it’s ready to consume!
Oh that’s funny because I haven’t bothered to put mine in a bottle yet and it’s just sitting on a sunny table with a cloth over the top and it’s been three days.. accidental win!
You never cease to amaze me or cease to titillate my taste buds. What a clever creature you are. Celia would have been so proud as am I, but probably would not have praised you directly, being the offspring of Victorian parents. I wish to be treated to some of these delights you have described so eloquently.
Gorgeous photos! I have a friend in Tennessee that has elderflower growing in her neighborhood. I will share this with her!
I don’t know what I’m into more, these ethereal and mouth watering photos or your beautiful words. So much love for the elderflower elegance!
Aw thanks! It is rather an elegant flower, isn't it?
Lovely!! We make a Romanian naturally fermented elderflower cordial every year- mine aren’t open yet but I’m looking forward to it!
Oh I’d love to know the recipe?
