Picked the elderflowers then found the chemist closed at lunchtime. What happens if I leave it out?
Do you have anything you could use as a substitute? either lemon juice or tartaric acid would work well.
Most of the recipes say lemon juice as well- should I just put extra in?
Yes, 1 rounded teaspoon of citric acid is equivalent to the juice of 1 lemon.

Such a wealth of knowledge in your noggen!
Great, thanks Baccyman. My recipe say 75g of citric acid - how many teaspoons would that be, I wonder? ???
1 teaspoon = 5g so 75g = 13 teaspoons :o :o :o
Either you are making a huge batch or your recipe is wrong. It would normally be 1-2 teaspoons per batch.
