Serves: 1
Ingredients:
Use a mixture of lemons and limes for this cordial if wished. Dilute one part cordial to four parts water. Your choice of lemon variety will determine the flavour of the cordial.
6 lemons
4 cups boiling water
2 ½ cups sugar
2 tablespoons Hansells Citric or Tartaric Acid
Method:
Grate the rind and squeeze the juice from the lemons. Place the rind in a bowl and pour over the boiling water. Leave to steep for 2 hours. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a large saucepan. Add the sugar and strain in the juice. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the citric or tartaric acid. Skim off any scum from the top of the cordial. Pour into hot, clean, dry bottles and seal.
