Elderflower season is one of our favourite signs of summer so we spent the afternoon making elderflower cordial on our Popty Stout!
We followed the recipe but left ours to cool and infuse overnight before bottling the next morning.
The recipe we used is below if you’d like to make your own:
🌿 Fill a 1 litre measure with lightly packed elderflower heads. Shake gently to remove any insects and trim away as much stalk as possible
💧 Cover with water, add lemon zest, and simmer on the stove top for around 30 minutes
🧺 Strain through muslin or a clean tea towel and measure the liquid
🍋 For every 500ml of liquid, add 350g granulated sugar and the juice of half a lemon. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then bring to a gentle simmer and skim if needed
🌙 Leave to cool and infuse overnight
🫙 Pour into sterilised bottles and seal.
A little taste of summer 🌞
