Rhubarb Cordial

Ingredients

• 500 grams rhubarb cleaned and cut into chunks

• 1 thumb size piece of gingerpeeled and finely grated (optional)

• 1 lemon (zest & juice) preferably unwaxed and organic

• 250 grams caster (fine) or granulated sugar

• 400 ml water

Method

1. Put rhubarb, sugar, grated ginger (if using), lemon zest, juice and water into large pot and mix.

2. Put on a medium heat and bring to boil. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until rhubarb turns soft and mushy and sugar dissolves.

3. Take off the heat and prepare a large bowl or large measuring jug you can easily fit the sieve on. Strain the cordial (syrup) through the sieve. You can use the back of a spoon to press and speed up the process.

4. Pour the cordial (syrup) into prepared sterilised bottles and chill in the fridge.

5. Dilute 50ml cordial (syrup) to 150ml water. Or to your liking
