Report
A refreshing combination that you can bottle and enjoy all year round.
Share:
Ingredients
- 3 medium or 4 small lemons (they should weigh around 500 grams in total)
- 30 mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons tartaric acid
- 2 ½ cups caster sugar
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Juice lemons (they should yield about 200ml of juice). Add tartaric acid and stir to combine.
- Add sugar and water to a saucepan, along with the mint leaves and the zest from about ½ of the lemons. Stir over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just starts to simmer. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove mixture immediately once it starts to simmer.
- Pour sugar mixture over lemon juice and leave for 15 minutes.
- Strain mixture using a muslin cloth, pour into a bottle and place the lid on the bottle.
- Allow to cool and store in the pantry for up to 12 months. Or pop it in the fridge to enjoy immediately.
- Enjoy mixed with water or soda water, using 1 part cordial and 4 or 5 parts water.
Notes
- Storing: Your cordial should keep in the fridge for up to a few months. It could also be bottled for shelf storage, though you will need to rely on your own research and knowledge of bottling and preserving.
