Pink elderflower cordial …I found a pink elderflower bush near my home ….can’t believe I’ve walked past it for years and not spotted it before. Ironically I just bought an expensive plant of this and planted it out at the plot but it died in a strimmer tragedy 😩. I wasn’t sure how pink it would make the cordial as the flowers are quite a muted pink but I’m impressed with the beautiful colour of the cordial. Here’s a comparison on pink flowers on left and normal white on right.
