Elderflower cordial

6 g1 teaspoon

19 g1 tablespoon

Sugar-syrup cordial density ~1.3 g/ml; 4.93 ml/tsp gives ~6.4 g.

Nothing truly replaces elderflower's muscat-like floral note, though rose syrup is the closest scented option.

• 
  Rose syrup

  Use 60–70% of the weight and top up with water to match the volume; it is sweeter and floral in a rose, not elderflower, way.

• 
  Ginger ale

  Use the same weight, but reduce other liquid and sugar in the recipe; it adds fizz and ginger rather than floral notes.

• 
  Lemon juice

  For 100 g cordial use about 30 g lemon juice, 40 g caster sugar and 30 g water; sharper and citrusy, with no elderflower aroma.
