- Mix the remaining cordial with the amount of water indicated on the label. Chill in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- When serving, place one ball of sorbet in the middle of a deep plate. Pour a couple of tablespoons of the chilled elderflower juice over the sorbet so it starts melting slightly. Garnish with a mint leaf.
