    In the summer there is nothing we love more than a glass of homemade elderflower cordial to refresh us. Except perhaps one of these elderflower ice lollies!

    The blossom flavour of elderflower cordial and the citrus tang of lemon juice combine to make an ice lolly that is subtly sweet and sharp at the same time. You can use store bought elderflower cordial, or use homemade.

    We have a small freezer compartment in the fridge of our campervan. We actually very rarely turn the fridge on, as we like to save on gas. We choose groceries which don’t need refrigerating - grains, pulses, dried goods and fresh veggies are the staple ingredients of most of our campervan meals.

    But there’s sometimes when it’s worth turning the fridge freezer on - especially to make these tasty elderflower ice lollies!

    Ice lolly moulds

    We used a ikea lolly mould that I’ve had since I was a kid, but if I was to buy a new one I would choose a plastic free one, such as a stainless steel lolly maker, or bpa free silicone mould.

    If you don’t have a lolly maker, you can also freeze these in a small tapered glass, beaker or a repurposed yoghurt pot. Just pop a stick into it after about an hour of freezing, when it’s firm enough to stay in place.

    STEP THREE: Pour into ice lolly mould and freeze for 6 hours.

    STEP FOUR: Briefly run under warm water to help release from the mould, and enjoy!

    Of course, it’s been raining for the last week since I made these elderflower lollies! But you never know when it will suddenly be sunny and you‘ll be regretting not having some of these in the freezer to cool you down.

    So pop a batch of these lovely elderflower and lemon lollies in your freezer now!
