I tried making elderflower champagne in glass bottles leaving the lids resting but not screwed in. The recipe said it would work. It did not. So I have tried again using plastic bottles. They should not explode if I burp them now and again but,I accept, they don’t look elegant. However…
The taste is amazing but on my rigid, fighting diabetes, diet they are off limits for me. So I have to find local volunteers to come help drink them, perhaps in return for a spot of lawn mowing?
