Webtalk - our flowering season has only just started - so pls post or email your recipe and I can get cracking this end.
Had lemongrass flavoured olive oil at the weekend - most sublime taste - can highly recommend it to anyone who happens across it.
[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]It is elderflower cordial season again!!! It is a bit difficult to get citrus acid this year. I just love the taste of it with ice cold sparkling water.
It is just so easy to make... will be happy to post the recipe if anyone needs it.

I think the wifey makes this drink this side
what do the flowers look like I must confirm whether I am on the right track
and if so then I will also ask to share her recipe

20 flower heads (if small pick more)
1 kg sugar
1 1/2 lt water
2 lemons
50g citric acid
Shake the heads to get rid of any creepy crawleys and put it in a bowl.
Bring water to boil, add sugar - make sure all the sugar disolves.
Pour over flowers.
Add lemon zest and cut up lemons and then the citric acid.
Let stand for 24 hours.
Strain through a cloth.... and enjoy.
Serve with ice cold sparkling water and a slice of lemon.
