| How-To: Elderflower Cordial Instructables user writes: From mid-June to mid-July you can't turn the corner in the area where I live without seeing an elder tree in flower. At this time of year the fist sized bunches of tiny white flowers make a great cordial which is really tasty with sparkling water, ice and a slice of lemon. Be sure to leave some flowers on the tree though as come Autumn the berries make a great wine! The resulting cordial has a sweet, floral, refreshing taste which is one of my favourite summer drinks.More:How-To: Elder Scottish Rose CocktailRead the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in Food | Digg this! blog.craftzine.com |

Rosa even found a way to work a little bit of herself into the piece. That is my hair there - I cut it off in a hungover state about a year ago and kept it all this time, waiting for it to become useful. And now it has! I covered it in glue and wrapped it around thick needles to get the curls, then I couched it down.Awesome!
