This sugar free elderflower cordial is so easy to make and so much better than any store bought elderflower syrup.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Ingredients (makes about 1.5 L)
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
30-40 elder flower heads or dried elder flowers (see recipe tips)
2 liters water
2 lemons, organic and unwaxed
1/4 cup citric acid (59 g/ 2 oz)
900 g granulated Allulose (2 lbs.) or other low-carb sweeteners (see tips above)

Instructions:

Remove any dirt or insects from the elder flowers. Do not wash as you don't want to wash off the pollen which will give it flavor.
Note: If fresh elder flowers are no longer in season, you can use 15 to 20 g (0.5 to 0.7 oz) elder flowers instead, or to taste.
Use scissors to trim the thick stalks off the elderflowers and place into a large pot filled with 2 liters of water.
Use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer yellow layer of the lemons and add to the pot. Juice the two lemons and add the lemon juice to the pot.
Place on the stove. Heat up until simmering, and then cover with a lid and take off the heat. Let it sit for at least 4 hours of up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
Strain the liquid through a colander lined with a muslin cloth or a nut milk bag. Squeeze any remaining liquid from the flower & lemon pulp fpr even more flavor.
Place the pot with the elderflower liquid back on the stove. Add the sweetener, bring to a boil and stir to combine. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until you get about half of the original volume, about 1.5 liters of liquid.
Note: If you don't want to reduce the liquid, see the tips in the recipe above. My pots have capacity marks inside so it's easy to get exactly the amount I need.
Meanwhile, sterilize as many glass bottles and a funnel (see tips in the recipe above to learn how to do that).
Bottle up the elderflower cordial while it's still hot. Keep the bottles in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months.
Serve 2 to 4 tablespoons combined with a cup of still or sparkling water and some ice.
Once opened store in the fridge and use within 2 weeks. Optionally, serve with a slice of lemon for some extra zing!
