Method


Pour the water into a large saucepan and add meadowsweet flowers. Bring to the boil, then add the sugar and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Turn off the heat, add the juice of one lemon and leave aside to let the flavours infuse (preferably over night)

Drain through a fine sieve, season with more lemon juice (and sugar, if you wish).

Serve diluted with water (typically use 1 part cordial and 1-2 parts water, depending on your preference), adding ice cubes and garnishing with a lemon slice.
