#5 Bramble Cottage – Homemade Lemon Cordial
We make this A LOT! It’s a healthier alternative to store brought ‘fizzy’ or cordial and tastes gorgeous
Recipe:
4 Cups water
5 Cups Sugar
Rind and Juice from 4 med/large lemons
5 teaspoons Citric Acid
3 Teaspoons Tartaric Acid
3 Teaspoons Epsom Salts
If you have a food processor, peel the yellow skin from the lemons with a potato peeler and chop them with a cup of the sugar using the metal chopping blade. otherwise, grate them.
Bring the water, sugar and grated rind to the boil, then remove from heat and add the juice and carefully measured acids and Epsom salts. Stir until dissolved, then pour into clean glass bottles. (strain before if preferred) Pour a nip into a glass, then top up with whichever you prefer (Soda water, Tonic water, Iced Tea, Chilled water etc)
Enjoy!
