DIY Elderflower cordial! Swank or pants?

6 months ago

 Hey everyone,

Long time no see! I had some problems with a house move that meant no internet at home and frazzled nerves at work, boo!

Anyway I hope you will cross your fingers for me and wish me luck because I'm going to try my hand at making home-made elderflower cordial this eve. I don't know why I'm doing it, elderflower cordial is pretty cheap! But in the spirit of being skint and willing to try new things I thought I would give it a go. 

I've picked 20 elderflower heads from the local park (I picked them pretty high up because of, um, dog wee potential!!!). A friend has lent me some citric acid from her kitchen which the recipe says you need. Then it's just sugar and water and lemons...

I hope it tastes nice I've promised my work mates they can have some and I don't want to give them swine flu...

Hi Mooksy!

Was wondering where you'd gone! How did you house move go? Are you settled now?

I'll send you my address and you can send me some of this cordial to sample

 Haha, you're welcome but I know you could make it yourself - you're a much better cook than me but it's soooo easy

The house move was brilliant. I moved from the inner city to suburbia and thought I would die of boredom and loneliness but actually I love it. Fresh air, great pubs, good for the dog, nice boyfriend, friends nearby - I love it. Wish I'd done it sooner tbh.

Where did your cute profile pic go? I saw it was a new one and was going to ask if they were both your daughters or one of them was you?

You can have a box of choccies for that remark! It is me in the foreground with my middle daughter, Simie, who's 7. I just fancied changing my pic, I get bored seeing the same ones over and over.

Glad your house move went well. I live in a town that aspires to be a city, but it's a town really. We live close to the city centre but far enough out not to have much traffic and lots of parks near our house. It's also a short walk/ drive to the countryside. I love visiting places like London and Birmingham but could never live there.
