HOW TO MAKE CITRUS CORDIAL
Ingredients: 500g of your choice of citrus (grapefruit, lime, lemon or orange), 250g caster sugar and citric acid
Method
- Using a citrus peeler, peel your citrus, keeping the peeled fruit to one side
- Add caster sugar and the citrus peels to a container, then shake for 10 seconds. Leave at room temperature for 4 – 24 hours, the sugar will leech the oils from the peels and begin to appear wet.
- Once the peels have been left for an adequate time, juice the fruit using a citrus press, then pass the juice through a strainer into a container.
- Add peels and sugar into the container, then stir to dissolve the sugar into the juice. If you have trouble dissolving the sugar in the juice, add a small amount of water.
- Once sugar is dissolved, pass through a strainer. Add ¼ of teaspoon at a time of citric acid, mixing well, until desired acidity is reached, continuing to taste after each teaspoon.
If cordial is too thick add a small amount of water to thin it out. You can store your citrus cordial in the fridge.
