I was thinking that I would have to drop in some Lactose to get it sweet.
ok so better off with some lime and elderflower cordial.
just did a quick google and found a recipe!
Elderflower Cordial with Lime.
Makes about 2 liters.
30 large heads of elderflower
1 organic lemon, zest plus juice
1 organic lime, zest plus juice
1.5 liters boiling water
1 kilogram sugar
about 3 ounces lemon juice, to total 5.5 ounces with lemon and lime juice (3/4 cup)
You will also need sterilized glass jars to hold 2 liters of syrup.
Gather fresh and dry elderflowers, and shake out any freeloading critters outside before you bring them in.
Trim off any thick green stalks and place the elderflowers in a large, heat-proof bowl. Add the lemon and lime zest, and pour over the boiling water. Stir a few times, then cover and leave to infuse overnight.
The next day, strain the elderflower infusion through a sieve to remove the big bits, and then through a fine strainer to remove the finer particles. Note - you can just start with a fine sieve, but it goes faster if you get rid of the bigger pieces first.
Pour the infused liquid into a large pot and add the sugar and citrus juice. The combined juiced lemon and lime, plus additional lemon juice, should total 5.5 ounces (3/4 cup). Top up with additional lemon juice if necessary.
Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved, then boil for an additional 5 minutes until syrupy and clear.
Let cool for a few minutes, then pour into sterilized jars.
If refrigerated, lasts for up to 3 months.
If freezing - use freezer-safe containers and leave at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) room for expansion as the liquid solidifies. Lasts in the freezer for up to a year.
When you are ready to drink, dilute 1 part cordial to 5 or 6 parts water, or to taste.
