Elderflower cordial is a very versatile ingredient and goes extremely well with Prosecco! Add to Prosecco and drink – easy peasy, or with a little more effort make a brilliant summer jelly! 

“Elderflower has been used in traditional medicine all over the world in many different cultures due to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. The most common uses are for colds and flu, sinus infections, and other respiratory disturbances.” (1)

Ingredients

• 1 pint of Prosecco
• 4 leaves of gelatine (or 12g sachet equivalent)
• 100ml elderflower cordial
• 3 table spoons of honey

1. 1. Prepare your gelatine as per the packet instructions. I used platinum grade leaf gelatine which requires soaking in ice cold water for 5 minutes.
   2. Pour your Prosecco into a saucepan and heat gently – do not allow to boil.
   3. Add your cordial and honey to a separate small saucepan and heat until warm and combined.
   4. Pour your honey and cordial mix into your Prosecco and stir well.
   5. Add your gelatine – if using the leaf gelatine squeeze well to remove excess water and add to your Prosecco.
   6. Once combined, taste and add more honey if you need to.
   7. Remove from the heat and pour into glasses or ramekins and refrigerate. These take a bit longer to set so leave them overnight.
