RTFM
Im not very good with
instructions. I tend to skim, then just bowl straight in and make a dogs breakfast of it all. What i should have done was boil the water and sugar first, take that off the heat and then add the flower heads, lemon and citric acid and leave to infuse for 24 hours. I just battered it all in (apart from the citric acid
lol!), boiled the life out it and left it over night. I have to say though that it does resemble the elderflower cordial you buy in the shops, but there is a bit of a strange after taste, might be the lack of citric acid, but
im too para to go and look for it now! But its pretty good anyway, i think the citric acid just acts as a
preservative.
Im enjoying a glass over ice as i type this, so hopefully its not some poisonous plant that looks like
elderflower!!!
I found the elderflowers walking home from gibshill yesterday and I bought the sugar and lemons with the money i saved on bus fares
Ach, just bang it all in there
I shouldve cleaned the tiles before i took this pic!
This was the only bottle i could fine to put it all in, must try not to recycle everything in future
Lolly for Molly
This glass is quite apt after sending G on a hunt for citric acid, not realising that most places stopped selling it because junkies use it to make heroine more soluble. hehehe ooops!
