Elderflower wine/champagne recipe

Post: # 198971Post Gem »

Hi,

I am doing my first batch of elderflower cordial and want to make it alcoholic :drunken: I had a quick look but can't find any recipes. Can someone post a recipe for wine or champagne or redirect me to an old link containing one please?

Cheers

I'm looking forward to making elderflower cordial with the kids at school next week, before having an elderflower 'cocktail party'.
We did this last year and it was hilarious - 60 seven year olds making their own idea of 'social chit chat': they kept asking each other how their husbands were and asking after each others health problems!

Good Luck with the elderflower chmpagne! :sunny:

OMG that is my idea of hell you brave thing :pale: . My own kids are all I can manage and I generally have thoughts of locking either them or me in a small soundproof darkened space. :lol:
