- Let me show you how we make one of the most delicious spring/summer cordials.
It tastes scrumptious and I am yet to find anyone who does not enjoy this summer drink.
t's easy to make, and good for you too, including great for coughs, sore throats and clearing catarrh, and if you love a little magic, Elderflower is said to allow you to see into the future!! Allow me to tell you what I see....I see you loving this beautiful old English Cordial. ENJOY :) x

So enjoyable to listen to you speak, I'm inspired!
Ingredients
-50g of Citric acid
-3 litres of water
-juice and zest of 4 unwaxed lemons
-1 kg of sugar
-a cordial full of elderflower
Beautiful! We are vegan as well. I found an elderflower bush in our yard here in Alaska and I am so excited to make this! Thank you for such a wonderful video!
I didn't know elderflower grows on bushes! In my country I've only seen it grow on trees
I'm vegan too :-). I shake the flower heads over the plant so the bugs have a chance. Otherwise they starve really fast. Can't completely eradicate them but like you I like to save any animalia where I can :-)
I followed your recipe and...wow!!! I used more of the flowers because I had picked so many. I probably ended up using about 30-40 large umbrels of flower. Also, I used 6 teaspoons of citric acid powder, because I wasn’t sure what the metric equivalent was and didn’t want to overdo it. (50 gm= 10 teaspoons) The aroma and the flavor of this cordial is beautiful!!. Thank you!!
Karen LT that’s wonderful, so pleased you liked it 🙏🇬🇧🐝🌱🦋
I've got 3 flowers growing at the moment can't wait im very new to The elderberry flower. They are small and trying to figure out how to water them at the moment very nice video thank you for sharing
Thankyou for the video, it was very informative 🙂
Great video I'm going to try. I used to live in England 11 years and I fall in love with elderflower cordial. I have moved back to Poland and we have a lot of elderflower around so is a time to share with my love to the elderflower cordial with friends and family. Also I love flowers so your channel is great to learn. All the best for you. Greetings from Poland
Thank you I'm hoping to make some soon. It's the only drink I buy so will be lovely and cheaper to make my own .
Thank you for the video...looks delicious 😋 weldone from Albania 🇦🇱 👏👏👌
Will try making it thanks for sharing
I've just made a batch. Really good recipe. Easy to follow and makes a better batch for me as I'm the only one drinking it.
Kevin Mackenzie that’s great Kevin, glad you liked it!
That was such a lovely video and I really enjoyed it a lot. I think it is the season right mistaken as I see them all over the place around here in Bradford on Avon. Now I know how to make my own if I want to, or give it away too like you suggested. Thank you so much, you really are love and light. Peace and love
Yes a great time, we have them all around now too, always try and pick first thing in the morning, please let me know how you get on if you do make some x
Vlierbloesem we drink it too here in netherlands 🇳🇱
Heb ik vandaag nog gemaakt! Ik groeide op in Engeland en leerde het maken van mijn tante.
Vincent Deaney heerlijk !
Do you smoke it coffee shop?
I followed this recipe to make elderflower cordial for the first time. I used double the amounts of flowers that she required, and let it seep for 48 hours. Other recipes I had looked at used double the amount of sugar for the quantity of water, so I wonder if this will affect how long it keeps. It is a delicious amount of acidity though, very refreshing!
Alex Lanteigne my recipe works perfect, I cannot comment on how others make it.
holyc rap i'm drunk on okinawan Awamori and sparkling elderflower...dontknow how or why i managed to mix the two. imaddticted got to go to the UK to get more.
😂
Haha okay love , stay safe
THank You ! Blessed Be
Just tried your recipe, every year I say I'm going to make it as my dad made it when we were kids, but never got round to it. Oh my it's beautiful! Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤ BTW apparently pharmacies in England don't sell it, get it from a cake supply shop or I've been told wilko 's or brewing shop you will get it 😁
@Angela Burley - are you talking about citric acid? Tesco Pharmacy sells it, bought some yesterday...
Angela Burley Sainsbury’s sells the cordial
Planning to maks this today. I did have to double check the amount of sugar, it seems excessive!! I guess you only use a drop of the cordil at a time. 🤷🏻♀️
You have a really beautiful voice. You should consider doing voice work. Can see you being a hit for a lot of talk over things.
number2nd ha! Thank you 🙏 I would never have thought that, I cringe when I hear my voice on video 😂 but thank you anyway xx
Would it be possible to do this but with oranges instead of lemons? Lemon makes me a bit queezy
oooooh not sure, but certainly worth a go, actually I bet it would be nice, do let me know if it works :)
Thank you. Can I sterilizer the glasses in a microwave? I always do it.
Lovely recipe. My flowers went brown in the hot water, any idea why?
Great job 👍. No need to rinse the elderflower forehand ?
hi! is the water still boiling when you add the elderflowers or you wait for the water to get cold?
Just off the boil
what about the life of the elderflower? 🤣
we are plant-based - means, we eat plants ha ha ha ha
@@Bentonendflowerfarm I just wanted to say that I followed your video and made some gorgeous elderflower cordial that is being consumed by my family this morning.
@@Mazgic sounds wonderful...enjoy!
How much does this make? X
I'm half way through but did I miss the amount of sugar or was it just some that's a lot ?
Hi can you use dried elderflower in this recipe?
TheHorseyboy I really don't know, but can't see why not, let me know how it turns out
@@Bentonendflowerfarm worked out lovely with the dried elderflower, thanks for the recipe
@@TheHorseyboy wonderful x
what are the measuments in US?
🤔 not sure, there should be a Google converter x
Is getting citric acid from the chemist the norm? I would have thought it would be available at a normal supermarket.
Amazon is the easiest place, but shopping local is better x
what variety of elderflower is this ?
Just the UK common Elderflower found in most Hedgerows (Sambucus nigra). x
@@Bentonendflowerfarm thank you...there is a dark leafed variety also called Sambucus Nigra , that's why I asked...those flowers are pink
@@mykvass yes this is the white variety
A big no no for me sugar. Try using natural sugars like stevia
Does it taste strongly of lemons though?
no, it taste of elderflower :) x
Is your nailvarnish vegan? Shellac is made from squished insects.
J B yes, vegan nail varnish by nailberry. (Think that was it, or similar, but def vegan) hope this helps.
Sorry but I don’t have 1 kg of sugar
Esther Bartle It may be easier to gather all your ingredients together before starting x best of luck
Applewood Acres ok good idea I have got elderflower in my garden also thanks for the advise I do love me some elderflower cordial
Applewood Acres I’m sorry if I sounded mean
Esther Bartle awww you didn’t xx
Applewood Acres good
Stop saying elderflower flower. It’s just elderflower. Otherwise good video 👌🏻
