Elderflower Cordial

From the garden I took some elderflower heads and a lemon
then mixed them with water, sugar, and honey.
Something delicious happened in my kitchen just this weekend.

Elderflower cordial happened.
I had never tasted elderflower cordial, but quite delicious.
In the glass I mixed the cordial, which was a bit sweet,
with ginger ale and a splash of apple cider vinegar.
I will try it on ice cream, a splash in iced tea,
maybe a sorbet; but the treat will be mine.
Many years ago I was served elderflower fritters,
now I can still remember really loving them too.
Ahhhh! The possibilities for savoring my elderflowers.
The following link is the recipe I used.

What fun to enjoy something from the garden in a different way.
Sipping with JOY.
