Prized for its delicate, aromatic flavour the cream-colored elderflower. Here are my 2 fave recipes, one is Sorbet and the other is Cordial. Remember to rinse the flower heads first and then shake gently.
For Sorbet:
200g Sugar
500ml Water
1 Lemon's juice and Zest
3 Elderflower Heads
Method:
Dissolve the sugar in the water to make the syrup. Add the elderflower heads and the lemon juice and zest. Cool. Freeze. Two hours later, whisk then freeze again.
For Cordial:
Elderflower Heads
Water
1 Lemon's juice and Zest
600g Sugar
500ml Water
Method:
Simmer elderflower heads with water for 20min, sieve but keep the juices. Add the lemon juice and zest, sugar and the 500ml of water. Dissolve over heat so it becomes syrup. Bottle in sterilized bottle.
