Did some elderberry cordial yrs ago when my boys were very young used to have it hot in the winter. One yr we had one bottle left when one of my friends said she was going to do a party for all our friends children about 15 to 20. Mention I had this bottle left over from the winter and gave to her. Went up early on the day of the party to help when I arrived she was painting the kitchen. Short version, she opened it and it must have started fermenting and it went all over the kitchen. River cottage is very good, I got the recipe for chicken & leek pie some yrs ago and have made it many times but I use chicken breasts which makes a good amount for having guests over. Loved the video Vivi
I know I had them as a kid but I can't remember what elderberries taste like. I do remember eating dark small round berries as a kid that had a sweet but oddly dusty aftertaste. Maybe that was elderberries. The flowers though, are spectacular and hold their own with any other flower.
I'm hoping to make some elderberry wine come Autumn........I've never eaten them raw. Be very careful.....all other parts of the plant are toxic so only the flowers or berries should be consumed. :-)
Great tutorial Vivi I’m almost tempted to give it a go this weekend. Regarding the exploding bottles, you could put some in your brew bin, less liquid to travel. I made some ginger beer recently which explodes all over the spare room, it took ages to clear up the sticky gingery mess from the wall,spare bed, and carpets, scenes from the exorcist looked less messy. On a more serious note there was glass everywhere . Hope you enjoy the fruits of your labour.
You inspired me! So yesterday I went out into my back garden and picked flowers from my elderberry and started a brew. Not exactly the same recipe, but very similar. Glad to know that I got the right kind of bottles because some of the recipes mentioned only champagne bottles or some brand name and the ones I had were collected by a friend. I look forward to sharing a glass when you have your harvest party and at Christmas time.
Sounds enchanting! I’d have to buy an elder flower bush since they’re not that common in California. But between that and the medicinal berries I think I’d be worth it! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Delightful. Cant wait. Just a tip with the yeast. In winemaking, the yeast is made into a sort of slurry first, and then gently added to the juice in one place, rather than mixing it. The idea is to get a strong culture going which then spreads throughout the liquid. In small quantities, this may not be such an issue, but I thought I may as well mention it. Good luck.
apparently the way I tried is specific to some areas in America. It reminded me of Japanese tempura. I guess it's quite easy to make and each person can make their own mix. The perrier water or soda is important for the lightness of the mix. I'm really enjoying your videos. Thank you for that. Greetings from Jerusalem. 🌹🍾🌼🌷 By the way, I have checked and it's called Elderflower Fritters and when I say mix, it's called batter.
Wonderful! Reminds me of making illegal wine in the Middle East when I worked there! 😏You can make sparkling alcoholic apple champagne with apple juice, a pinch of yeast, and a bit of sugar in each bottle.
What Vivi did next : I expect you could make it with windfalls. We made it with pre made grape juice , (I said apple in error, it was white grape juice.) only because it came in the bottles like you used , with the special flip down stoppers. I’m sure apple juice would work, or actual apples.
Vivi, thanks again for good information how to make useful and healthy products!)) do you know the Latin name of this tree? We have several varieties, most of them are bushes, not trees... But yours is real tree, with nice flowers, and I'd wish I could find it by searching by Latin name... Thanks a lot in advance!
Thank you Olga......it is a really lovely tree and all the beautiful berries to come later in the autumn. It's Latin name is Sambucus Nigra.......happy hunting. :-)
Dear Vivi, if this is as good as the home brew we quaffed whilst camping in the Cotswolds, I am driving down to London and meeting you in person.....lovely lady...loving your videos xxx
Marvellous! I’ve always intended to make elderflower cordial (fewer extra bits of kit needed) but never seem to get my act together in time. Will you be doing another video on elderberry cordial in a few months time? I’d love to try that (act-getting-together abilities permitting). I got my late seeds in yesterday - my “chuck ‘em in and see what comes up” exercise. All free seeds, so nothing lost if it’s a failure. Kohlrabi, pak choi, wong bok (Chinese cabbage), white radishes, cylindrical beetroot and spring onions. Fingers crossed!
Ooooh, I hope your free seeds come up and surprise you! Yes, I'm planning to use the berries in the autumn but probably wine rather than cordial.... :-)
Lovely! I’ve just made elderflower cordial - I had forgotten how superiour it is to the store bought variety. For anybody, please don’t eat the berries raw as they contain glucosinoids which are mildly toxic and can give stomach aches. When cooked they are perfectly healthy though :)
Can't beat fresh, home-made cordial! Thank you for mentioning re the berries raw........I should have mentioned it in the video.......and that all other parts of the plant should NOT be consumed as they are toxic to us. :-)
Hi Vivi, when I saw your Elderflower video this morning, I was really looking forward to it. But it was locked. Now, after work, it's back. Juhuuuuuuu, How beautiful. I hope you could fix your sticky kitchen again. Dear Greetings Claudia
Hi Vivi. Hope the bottles are behaving themselves! Do you remember where you bought them from? I’ve made elderflower champagne for the first time this year and currently have it stored in plastic bottles, which I’m having to open twice a day to let some of the gas escape. Not sure I can keep that up for 6 months so glass bottles might be the way to go. Thanks!
Oh, sorry, I can't remember.......but they came from an on-line shop.......I think I googled something along the lines of 'home brew champagne bottles'............as I recall there were loads to choose from. Good luck finding some at a decent price before your plastic ones go bang! ;-)
What Vivi did next Brill, thank you for the tip. I’ve found some! Fingers crossed for a tasty brew. I’m looking forward to seeing how yours is in a few months time. Thanks again for replying.
After watching this I put an "advert" on FB asking any local friends if they have elder flowers they'd be willing to share with me. I don't have access to any. I want a Christmas champagne, too!! ;)
Hi Vivi, Such a simple, great recipe. I like Hugh too. I think you have to stick a skull on every bottle so you don't try it before Christmas. Hahaha... My grandma was quite old when she died, and I was 6 years old. In the past, the kitchen was repainted in our area a few days before Easter, white. And then Grandma set currant wine. After a few days there was a terrible shouting in the kitchen. There were some bottles of Grandma's wine in the air. There was not much to see from the white kitchen. The wall radiated from light purple over blue, to dark purple. We kids were on the kitchen floor and laughing and laughing. The mama was a little upset because we laughed, but then she laughed too. Luckily, your elderberry champagne is not purple. However, the elder has long been in bloom with us. I'm very excited to see how he'll taste you in a few months. Lots of love Claudia from Germany
Oh what a wonderful, funny memory of you and your grandma........hahahaha, that must have taken forever to clean! I hope mine don't explode and that I can share the tasting with you all. :-)
I remember that after cleaning my father had to paint the whole kitchen several times in a row. And I can't remember that after that, someone once again set up berry wine or champagne. I don't think Mama's allowed it anymore, Hahahah!
Hmm....no idea since I haven't tried.......it would be interesting to try though as honey has it's own bacteria and this could affect the fermentation.....
Hiya vivi🙋🏼I had went to get some as said, they had,apart from one, went over and now turning into berries. Picked last year but hubby didn't like them.🙄
Was it the berries or flowers he didn't like? I'm hoping to scrounge some more bottles and kit and try the berries as wine this autumn...........hahahaha, I need to up my alcohol production! ;-)
The berries are so bitter they need turning into something else........have a go with some wine this autumn with me.....and then champagne from the flowers next spring. ;-)
Hello The berries must not be eaten raw. They taste pretty disgusting as they contain a lot of tannic acid. But you can make a fine jelly, juice or cough syrup for the winter. I have mixed the juice of the berries with apple juice and jelly cooked for our nursery bazaar. All the glasses were sold. The jelly was delicious and looked beautiful. Dear Greetings Claudia
I remember when I saw those bottles in the background after you bought them. It must have been hard to wait so long to be able to actually use them! I remember asking you, when I saw them, if they were for Kombucha. Have you considered making that since then? Your costs would be similar, and it would be a self sustaining project! Great health tonic and you def get some bubbles from it also. I can't wait to see the "reveal" video where you crack one open! Your next project could be some mead with the honey from the bees on the plot - I think I remember you saying you get a bit of honey from them. My Great Nan/Grampa had a market garden and used to make Dandelion Wine and cordials, etc from the plants in their garden/property. It always fascinated me to see someone still putting those skills into practise nowadays.....although, b/c it's you, I'm not surprised ;) P.S. Don't worry, like has already been mentioned, you won't be consuming that sugar, the yeast will - think of it as a catalyst. You will get to enjoy the bubbles from all their gorging and "hard work". ~Cheers!
Hahaha - a friend of mine who is a Shiatsu practitioner is always trying to get me to consume more fermented stuff including kombucha.......but it just isn't to my taste.....I'll stick with making wines I think. ;-) I'll open the first bottle of Elderflower with you all in a few weeks.........if they haven't exploded before then. ;-)
Is it actually an alcoholic drink? Ive made the cordial before but not this.All the sugar required does put me off plus all our elder flowers are about 12 feet up this year! Hope it turns out as tasty as it looks.
Hahahaha, yes it's alcoholic.......all that sugar turns to alcohol. I'm not a fan of sugar for preserving either (which is why I don't bother with jam) but I will make the exception for champagne. ;-)
I assume no one owns the bush? Wouldn't it be better to leave the flowers and harvest the berries for jam and beverages? OK I see you only picked a small amt, I was envisioning a bushel basket full . So can you make wine out of any flower?
Gosh, no, no-one owns the tree.....I wouldn't dream of taking from someone else's tree (unless I had permission)! I'm not a fan of jam but I may try the berries for some wine...... Not sure if any flower works.....I would only use tried and tested recipes for fear of toxicity.... :-)
🍾 brilliant video, Vivi. I was so excited when it skipped forward 8 days so we saw the bottling. Well done on a fab achievement ❤️🥂
I'll be even more excited to skip forward a few weeks and try drinking it. ;-)
I've always wanted to make this. In WWII i believe it was popular for weddings!
Oooh, have a go. :-)

Hahahahaha - oh my goodness! That must have made quite the sticky mess. I think I will open mine outside! ;-)
SO MUCH FUN. I LOVED WATCHING THE PROCESS. CANT WAIT UNTIL YOU TASTE.
Hahaha - me too......I need to be patient though. ;-)
I know I had them as a kid but I can't remember what elderberries taste like. I do remember eating dark small round berries as a kid that had a sweet but oddly dusty aftertaste. Maybe that was elderberries. The flowers though, are spectacular and hold their own with any other flower.

Great vid. I did laugh heartily when you were siphoning!
Oh my goodness.....I made so much mess!! Hahahaha - so tricky with only one pair of hands and eyes...... ;-)
It will be nice to see how it turns out. You should make some rhubarb chapmagne now. This was fun.
Cheers! I need to start scrounging more bottles before I can make any more brews......I'll be keeping a close eye on freecycle. :-)
That looked fun! I wish those bottles lots of luck! I hope they provide you with a tasty treat. Enjoyed watching very much. 😁
Cheers lovely........hopefully I can have a wee taste in the summer......and then try to save the rest for Christmas. :-)
Great tutorial Vivi I’m almost tempted to give it a go this weekend.
Regarding the exploding bottles, you could put some in your brew bin, less liquid to travel. I made some ginger beer recently which explodes all over the spare room, it took ages to clear up the sticky gingery mess from the wall,spare bed, and carpets, scenes from the exorcist looked less messy. On a more serious note there was glass everywhere . Hope you enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Oh my goodness - what a mess! Yikes.....think I may put mine in a granite box! ;-)

Me too! I'll open the first bottle with you guys in a few weeks. :-)
Lovely...enjoy!!!!
Thank you! :-)
Fantastic brilliant video looking forward to seeing it when it's ready :-)
I'llshare the first opening/taste with you all later in the summer. If they don't all explode before then. ;-)
Hurray, thank you, I hope they don't explode but you are well prepared if you have the bottles stored in boxes that's such a good idea :-)
Have made cordial before, definitely will be trying this ! Loving the channel !
Thank you so much Christine. :-)
Great video! Happiness is a sticky kitchen and full bottles! I'll have to check and see if my black lace elderflowers will work. 😆
Hahaha - it took me ages to clean up! ;-)
ages? hahah!
If you want to have a fine elderflower champagne, you also have to work a bit!!!!!!
A nice idea to use up elderberry flowers. There are always tons in the hedgerows. Just remembered dandelion and burdock wine. Never tasted it though.
I haven't tried it as wine either......but it was my favourite 'fizzy' drink as a child. :-)
Delightful. Cant wait. Just a tip with the yeast. In winemaking, the yeast is made into a sort of slurry first, and then gently added to the juice in one place, rather than mixing it. The idea is to get a strong culture going which then spreads throughout the liquid. In small quantities, this may not be such an issue, but I thought I may as well mention it. Good luck.
Oh thank you - that's a great tip! :-)
Have been wanting to make Elder flower wine since i have bushes here Thanks for showing this video
Have fun giving it a go. :-)
I’ve never seen any brewing done. Looks pretty easy. Thanks 😁
Soooooo easy.........another pair of hands at bottling time would have been useful though! ;-)
Great video, Vivi. Maybe next time you could bottle it in the bathtub and have an easier clean up. :)
Jon in BC, Canada
JonTanOsb That's how we do beer, in the tub lol
Hahaha - good idea! I did use the bathtub for washing the brew bin. ;-)
Awesome video.
Thank you lovely. :-)
Oh my gosh I love you
Aww, thank you.
I had elder flowers once, dipped into a mix of flour, eggs and perrier water, almost like a pancake mix, and fried afterwards
It was quite good.
Oooooooh, lovely! :-)
apparently the way I tried is specific to some areas in America. It reminded me of Japanese tempura. I guess it's quite easy to make and each person can make their own mix. The perrier water or soda is important for the lightness of the mix.

Cheers lovely. :-)
Wonderful! Reminds me of making illegal wine in the Middle East when I worked there! 😏You can make sparkling alcoholic apple champagne with apple juice, a pinch of yeast, and a bit of sugar in each bottle.
Fabulous - I was wondering about making with apples as we have so many windfalls on our site...... :-)
What Vivi did next : I expect you could make it with windfalls. We made it with pre made grape juice , (I said apple in error, it was white grape juice.) only because it came in the bottles like you used , with the special flip down stoppers. I’m sure apple juice would work, or actual apples.
Good vid... and inspired me to get the old brew bin out... i will try and hold off for about 6 months / Christmas before trying...
thanks 😉
Hahaha - the waiting is the hardest bit! ;-)
I'll probably make some and my dad would drink it all 😂
Hahahaha - not sure how long this little stash will last to be honest. ;-)
Lovely! Can you add different citrus to it like orange, tangelo, or clementine oranges? Or peach or apricot? Plum? Ooo my goodness!
Ooooh, I've never tried with other fruits......I think it might need to be citrus though.....something about the acid..... :-)
Can't wait to see how it turns out. I've written down the recipe and how you've made it. Thank you Vivi, I'm loving the videos :-)
Thank you Anne - I'll have the first taste on here with you all so I can tell you how it is. :-)
Sorry, internet went off when writing lol 😮 lovely job vivi and can't wait to see you try it 👍😁 hugs x
Cheers lovely. :-)
Nice ❤️

@@WhatVivididnext o fabulous role on june
Reminds me of Queen Ann's Lace
Lovely. :-)
You can use honey instead of sugar x
Hmm....no idea since I haven't tried.......it would be interesting to try though as honey has it's own bacteria and this could affect the fermentation.....

The berries are so bitter they need turning into something else........have a go with some wine this autumn with me.....and then champagne from the flowers next spring. ;-)
Vivi 🙋 yeah I made some jam/compote and yes that sounds like a good idea hun 😉😁👍 have a great day...💋
Hello
The berries must not be eaten raw. They taste pretty disgusting as they contain a lot of tannic acid. But you can make a fine jelly, juice or cough syrup for the winter.
I have mixed the juice of the berries with apple juice and jelly cooked for our nursery bazaar. All the glasses were sold. The jelly was delicious and looked beautiful.

Hahahaha. ;-)
Let me get this clean, what you are saying is that you don't take the pith?
Hahahaha - never. ;-)
Did you not strain it through muslin?
I just use a very fine mesh sieve. :-)
The yeast will eat up all of the sugar and convert it to alcohol for you! Yay!
I hope so! ;-)
This has just answered my question ...see above.

Yes...I hope so! Can't wait. :-)
I am not sure about this one.
Fair enough. :-)
