Meadowsweet Cordial - A Wild Kitchen Manifesto
Meadowsweet Cordial
🌼 Meadowsweet
(Filipendula ulmaria)
Fragrant, honeyed, and once used to flavour mead by ancient Celts—this wildflower is practically royalty. The creamy-white blooms of Meadowsweet have subtle notes of almond, vanilla, and spice. Magical in syrups, puddings, and drinks.
