Prep first

Make these preparations before you start the machine.

Cordial

Elderflower Cordial

You need 61 ml for this batch

Makes 300 ml — 239 ml left over

You'll need

  • water250 ml
  • granulated sugar250 g
  • fresh elderflower heads5
  • lemon1

Steps

  1. 1Gently shake the elderflower heads to remove any insects; discard thick stems.
  2. 2Use a peeler or fine grater to remove the lemon zest, then juice the lemon.
  3. 3Heat the water and sugar in a small saucepan, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Bring just to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
  4. 4Add the elderflower heads, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the hot syrup. Cover and steep until fully infused.
  5. 5Strain into a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate until needed.

Cooling

Cool the cordial completely before adding it to the slush mixture.

Straining

Strain through a fine sieve or muslin to remove flowers and lemon zest.

Method

  1. 1

    Combine the liquids

    Add the apple juice, elderflower cordial, water, and simple syrup to a large jug or container.

  2. 2

    Mix thoroughly

    Stir until the cordial and syrup are fully blended into the apple mixture.

  3. 3

    Chill and freeze

    Pour the mixture into your slush machine and run until it reaches a smooth, icy consistency, about 45 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve cold

    Pour into chilled glasses and serve right away while the texture is light and spoonable.

Tips

  • Chill the apple juice, elderflower cordial, water, and syrup before mixing for a faster, smoother texture.
  • Stir the mixture well before adding it to the machine so the cordial and syrup are evenly distributed.
  • If serving outdoors, keep glasses chilled and pour just before serving to preserve the icy texture.
  • For the mint note from the original drink, serve with fresh mint as a garnish if desired.
