Elder flower cordial

Cordials make delicious pure fruit drinks when added to non-carbonated or carbonated water or lemonade, or try mixing elder flower cordial with white wine and carbonated water for a sensationally different spritzer. 

There is nothing quite as refreshing as the delicately scented taste of an elder cordial, particularly if it is homemade using hand-picked elder flowers. Clusters of the small white or cream flowers appear in late spring use freshly-picked flowers for the best taste. Or gather fresh berries and make all sorts of alternative flavors. 

Aperient. Mildly laxative, elder has long been used in teas and cordials to aid the digestive process. Parts used flowers, berries.
