Ingredients

• 4 ripe plums, pitted and chopped
• 1 cup elderflower cordial
• 2 cups cold water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1-2 tablespoons honey (optional)
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the chopped plums and elderflower cordial. Blend until smooth and the plums have turned into a vibrant, purplish liquid.
2. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove the pulp. Press down with a spoon to extract all the lovely juice.
3. Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir well. Adjust the sweetness with honey if desired, stirring until it dissolves.
4. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and give it a final stir. The tangy aroma of the citrus will beautifully complement the sweet and floral flavors.
5. Serve the juice over ice cubes in chilled glasses, garnishing with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of freshness.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you can’t find elderflower cordial, a floral-infused syrup or even a light white grape juice can be used as a substitute.
• For a more festive presentation, serve in mason jars with a slice of plum on the rim.
• This juice makes a fantastic base for a creative family mocktail party. Simply add sparkling water for a fizzy twist.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• For a lower sugar option, omit the honey or replace it with a natural sweetener like stevia.
