HI my mother also had a ginger baby when I was younger, which she used to make ginger beer, And I am going to see if I am able to find the recipe in her old cookbook, failing that I will ask my sister if she ever had a copy. But unable to do this at the moment as I am going away to France for a month.

Thank you, such a fantastic recipe my cordial was a complete success, over winter I have been saving the small glass ketchup bottles which are a great size and easy to store and also a nice ammount to share with lots of friends! Your tips are wonderful made it all sound and come together easily.

I made elderflower cordial with my husband just over 2 weeks ago bottled it in sterilised glass bottles last thursday tasted great but went away for 5 days went to have some yesterday and doesn’t smell great and has gone fizzy why would that have happened? I used 40 elderflower heads 3 litres water, I think 2 or 3kg of sugar, 4 lemons and 50g citric acid
