Elderflowers Galore by Catherine Evans :: 10th July 2010

There has been so much blossom this year and all the hedgerows have been stunning - beautiful white clouds for weeks on end. Last week I managed to make some elderflower cordial - one of my favourite summer drinks - ad elderflower champagne. This is only the second time I have made champagne and I am a bit wary as 2 bottles exploded last time and the plastic bottles expanded until almost twice their original size! This year’s brew doesn’t look so fizzy so fingers craossed - it will be ready to drink in 8 days time!!
