katie1997 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Dulwich DIY and AJ Farmer on LL both sell those tall, clear bottles with rubber rings and plastic corks attached to a wire/spring type thing (whatever its technically called, I dunno).Also, why didn't anyone warn me not to use golden caster sugar when making the cordial? Doesn't harm the taste but it looks a bit like, erm, you know. Or do the oranges and lemons make it that colour anyway?Edited as the corks aren't rubber but they have these rubber disk things.

I made mine with raw cane demerara! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16873-elderflower-trees/page/2/#findComment-445705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie1997 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 LLM - taste is lovely but I do prefer the paler, delicate colour. Will use only lemons next time I think. Going to attempt a gooseberry and elderflower sorbet. Mmmm. Anyone tried making lavender jelly? (Not for a dessert, more like a chilli jelly) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16873-elderflower-trees/page/2/#findComment-445711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
