Elderflower Cordial

Take 2-4 unwaxed Lemons (organic), finely zested and sliced

two pints of water

1kgm unbleached sugar or English produced (depending on your outlook)

three teaspoons citric acid

Some people bring the water to the boil, but I dont, personally I just put all the ingredients in a preserving pan or bowl for two days (covered), then strain off, bottle and refrigerate, serve with water as a cordial.

To enjoy all year, this can be frozen in ice cubes to add to your glass of water as required (or gin of course).

For a variation try adding lavender heads or bruised ginger to the mix!
