Report
Turn an abundance of limes into a homemade lime cordial you can add to water or cocktails.
Share:
Ingredients
- 6-8 limes (they should weigh around 500 grams in total and yield 200-250ml juice)
- 2 teaspoons tartaric acid
- 2 ½ cups caster sugar or white sugar
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Juice limes. Add tartaric acid and stir to combine.
- Use a fine grater to get zest from two of the limes.
- Add sugar, zest and water to a saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is about to boil. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove mixture immediately from heat.
- Allow sugar mixture to cool for 15 minutes and then pour the sugar mixture over lime juice mixture and leave for another 15 minutes.
- Strain mixture using a muslin cloth, pour into a bottle (using a funnel if necessary) and place the lid on the bottle.
Notes
- Serving: Enjoy mixed with water or soda water, using 1 part cordial to 4 or 5 parts water.
