Can you share the receipe please Maverick Angel
Of course..my pleasure. k, couple of lemons (or oranges, or some blackcurrants, or any other fruit u think might make a reasonable cordial - limes would be good i guess), 2 pints water, 1 pound sugar and 1 level tsp citric acid. You can get citric acid by asking for it at the chemists. They keep it under the counter coz it's a white powder and is often used to cut illegal substances with! Sadly (!) citric acid has no narcotic, hallucinatory or energising properties that i'm aware of!
1. Quarter the lemons and mush then in a liquidiser with half a pint of the water for 10 secs, or bash about abit.
2. put lemon and water mix, sugar, rest of water and citric acid in a saucepan (don't use a cast iron one like i did first time round, or it will taste pants), bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
3. Leave to cool, strain and bottle.
Will keep in fridge for about 3 weeks. Dilute to taste.
Tastes delish, and has same ingredients list as the expensive cordials which cost about £1.99 a bottle or something daft.
