Well I downloaded the pictures and forgot to finish the post.
Life gets crazy sometimes.
The elderflowers are blooming in the garden right now;
so it was time to make elderflower cordial.
The recipe I tried this year had me steep the blossoms in a sugar syrup
with some lemon juice for 3 days.
It just becomes this gorgeous color and the scent is amazing.
After the three days you pour it through a sieve to remove the blossoms,
then I freeze part of it in little containers for the winter.
It is like springtime in a cold glass of ginger ale, sparkling water,
or maybe a crisp white wine.
Isn't the color amazing?
I wish you could smell and taste it, delicious!
I think next year I will go back to the Jamie Oliver recipe online,
but this was fun to try for this year.
Just a treat from the garden.
Hope you are having a delightful weekend, dear friends!
Get out and enjoy Springtime!
