Syrup
Low Sugar Elderflower Cordial
B tier
Low-sugar elderflower cordial uses less sucrose or a high-intensity sweetener so the flower can show without a heavy syrup. It can taste thin or oddly bitter if the sweetener is clumsy. Shelf life is often shorter. Use it if you want perfume without dessert sweetness. Traditional cordial keeps better and mixes with more body.
