Instructions
- Add tartaric acid to juice and stir to combine.
- Add sugar and water to a saucepan, along with the zest, and 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 as it starts to simmer.
- Allow sugar mixture to cool for 10 minutes and then pour over orange juice and leave for 15 minutes.
- Strain mixture using a muslin cloth. Pour into a sterilised bottle and place cap on 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.
- Nutrition: The nutrition information is an automatically generated estimate and is not guaranteed to be accurate.
- Substitution: You can use citric acid instead of tartaric acid, but keep in mind that while both are used as preservers, tartaric acid has a sharper and more biting sour taste, while citric acid has a refreshing and fruity sour taste.
