Vanilla ice cream with apricot and elderflower sauce

We discovered the beautiful Aroha Elderflower sparkle and cordial ranges last summer and thought they deserve another mention as they are the best summer drink!

Not only are they very refreshing but elderflower is known throughout history for its healing properties. Aroha drinks also have some great drink and food recipes to go with their range such as this one here.

RECIPE
3-4 scoops of good quality vanilla ice cream
4 fresh apricots
75g caster sugar
2 tbsn of AROHA cordial
80 mls of water

Place the apricots into a saucepan with the sugar, AROHA cordial and water, bring slowly to a simmer then stir to dissolve the sugar. Continue to heat until the apricots have cooked and the sauce looks thick, take off the heat and allow to cool. When cooled, purée until smooth and pour over the ice cream. A delicious dessert!
