  • 30ml citric acid (measured by volume), for every 250g of sugar

  2. Blend on medium speed for 30 seconds.

  3. Strain into a sterilized bottle.

Keep refrigerated.

Hints

  1. While this cordial lasts a long time, it will slowly start to change flavor as time goes on - try it before using it. It's probably best to spend it within 3 months.

  2. Lime cordial can be used in any cocktail that calls for lime juice and simple syrup. It will create a slightly different drink, as the zest you included will have a lovely bitter undertone. Otherwise, make limeade: Mix cordial with water and you're good to go!

  3. You can make this recipe using other citrus - lemons, grapefruit, etc. You might need to play around with the measurements, though!
