That really looks delicious and your photos are so beautiful too – very evocative of our precious english summer. how clever to preserve it (probably a good idea when youre in possession of 7.5 litres!). Hope you’ll be enjoying some this weekend!

I love those photos in your garden! Perfect for a floral cordial. You are lucky to be able to forage for elderflower – I have had elderflower drinks which I love but I have never seen elderflower in our parts

And I have not been able to get a post done for the breakfast challenge but hope that I might send one in for future challenge – look forward to the round up

Summer, in a bottle! So jealous. Now, go back and harvest the nettles and cook them (carefully) in garlic and olive oil and salt and stir through pasta and enjoy.

PS I really want to make some elderflower fritters before the flowers all disappear! But I have my Asian breakfast to make for this weekend.

Lovely pictures! I’ve made my cordial. I found last year that as long as the bottles were well-sterilised, they kept for ages. Finished the last bottle in May I think and it was still fine. I kept them in the fridge once they were open.
