(And they didn't mention the weather, either). No stems, they're bitter. Delicious! Serving suggestion: a splash of Tequila.

It definitely wasn't neat when I put it in the ice cream mixer! Good luck, and let me know how you get on. I'd be interested if it turns out well for you or if you do anything different. I'd like to try making the cordial myself, perhaps if I find a good place to collect them I will! I diluted it per the instructions on the bottle to make up a liter of liquid.

I’d like to try making the cordial myself, perhaps if I find a good place to collect them I will!

It's easy and really rewarding. Get the mix right and you will blow the shop cordial out of the glass. I am going to try your recipe above with the cordial produced from my back garden. Did you dilute the cordial down before starting it in the ice-cream maker, or was it neat? Oh, the flowers left on the bush after you have collected become elderberries. Good for trillions of things, but usually best known for their home-brew potential. Regards, Ian... Try making the cordial. It’s easy and really rewarding.

Before that, the only time I'd heard of anything "elder" was elderberries in the good ole Monty Python insult: Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
