Elderflower Lemon cubes

Elderflower Lemon cubes

Delicate floral flavor for everyday elegance

Elderflower is subtle and floral, lemon adds brightness. Drop one into sparkling water or white wine. Sophisticated without being fussy.

What you need

  • 3 tablespoons elderflower cordial or syrup
  • 1 lemon (juice + zest)
  • 1 cup water
  • Ice cube tray

How to make it

  1. Juice the lemon and zest it
  2. Mix elderflower cordial, lemon juice, zest, and water
  3. Stir well
  4. Pour into ice cube tray
  5. Freeze for at least 4 hours

How to use

Drop into sparkling water for an instant fancy drink. Add to white wine or prosecco for a simple cocktail. Melt into iced tea for floral notes.

Why this works

Elderflower cordial does all the work—it's already sweetened and flavored. Lemon keeps it from being too sweet. Two ingredients, endless uses.

Practical tip: Elderflower cordial is sold at most grocery stores (check the drink mixer aisle). A little goes a long way, so one bottle lasts months.
