I find that generally with cordial recipes, Rhubarb is the same and you risk losing the unique flavour and ending up with a generic sweet syrup.
Personally its elderflower champagne all the way for me, the alcohol content is pretty low so I can have it with breakfast, whilst driving, operating machinery, or give it to kids etc.
I have done the maths, compared all the recipes' sugar:water ratios and included the HMSO recipes..I have just started an Elderflower and Rose cordial, with reference to the Minamoo and River Cottage recipes. Hopefully this will retain the flavour over the sweetness

Excellent, I've always found confidence is key when driving or operating machinery |
crystal meth and wormwood potcheen help as well.

I'm making some Elderflower cordial and I have bought some citric acid. I'll have about 300gms left over. Can anyone make use of it?

If someone has got 100gms free then there is a whole kilo on offer.

a duckduck suggested there are a lot of uses for the stuff
iirc we used a spoonful in a horrible cake recipe, so we probably have another 95 g
i vaguely remember some sort of nonsense with mixing buffers to test Ph meters that involved accurate wt of analar dry crystals to put in the mix
probably not much help

It can be used instead of lemon juice. Not sure how much you would need though.

why?
wood sorrel does "lemon and salt"
dont over spice with it, as it also does oxalic
sweet, savoury or used on an emergency sunday to make tequila slammers in a net above gravity and sharp rocks it is splendid
if citrus was no more , crystals are not my go-to cupboard ingredient
malic is very ok as well, crabs work ace dried and powdered
