We took the dogs with us, &amp; had a lovely time, with a detour to the shop to buy sugar for the recipe. Why not try it yourself &#8211; here&#8217;s the recipe, which we&#8217;ve taken from Jamie Oliver&#8217;s magazine <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jamieoliver.com\">www.jamieoliver.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Makes 1.5 litres: 20 elderflower heads, 1.5 kilos caster sugar, 2 lemons, quartered, 2 oranges, quartered, 1.5 litres water<\/p>\n<p>Gently shake the flowers to clean. Bring 1.5 litres of water to the boil in a large pan. Add the sugar &amp; return to the boil, then reduce heat &amp; simmer for a few minutes until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, place lemon &amp; orange quarters in a large bowl with the elderflowers. Pour over the warm syrup. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave to steep for 24 hours. Strain the cordial with a sieve. Pour into sterilised bottles. Fix the lids on tightly &amp; store in a cool place.\u00a0 Mix 1 part cordial to 4 parts water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>www.jamieoliver.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stemsfloraldesign.com\/janetsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stemsfloraldesign.com\/janetsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stemsfloraldesign.com\/janetsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stemsfloraldesign.com\/janetsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stemsfloraldesign.com\/janetsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=745"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.stemsfloraldesign.com\/janetsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stemsfloraldesign.com\/janetsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stemsfloraldesign.com\/janetsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stemsfloraldesign.com\/janetsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
