Best Homemade Elderflower Cordial Recipes
ELDERFLOWER CORDIAL CONCENTRATE
This is a terrific drink for hot summer days, and a fantastic rival to lemonade. You'll find food grade citric acid at a health food store or Asian market. Since this recipe makes a concentrate, dilute with water to taste or pour over ice to serve.
