Makes 6 small glasses
gooseberries 350g, plus 18
sugar 30g
elderflower cordial 120ml
water 600ml
mint leaves 25, plus a few extra
sparkling water 500ml
Put the 18 reserved berries in the freezer. Remove the stalks and dried flowers from the gooseberries. Put the berries in a stainless-steel saucepan, add the sugar, elderflower cordial and water and bring to the boil. As soon as the berries start to burst and the sugar has dissolved remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool.
Ladle the berries and their liquid into the jug of a blender, add the mint leaves and process to a pale green, sweet-tart syrup. Chill thoroughly.
To serve, divide the gooseberry and elderflower syrup between 6 tall glasses, top up with sparkling water, the frozen gooseberries and a few mint leaves.
