This cordial is a great way to use up extra elderflowers. I have a huge elderflower tree in my backyard, and I'm always looking for new ways to use the flowers.

I had some trouble finding elderflowers, but I eventually found them at a local farmers market. The cordial was worth the effort, though. It's so good!

This cordial is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I'll probably use less sugar next time.

This elderflower cordial is absolutely delicious! I used it to make elderflower champagne, and it was a huge hit at my party. The cordial is also great on its own, mixed with sparkling water or lemonade.
