Orange Cordial
Ingredients
- 300 ml fresh orange juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
- 2 teaspoons tartaric acid
- 2 1/2 cups caster sugar
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Add tartaric acid to juice and stir to combine.
- Add sugar and water to a saucepan, along with the zest, and stir over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just starts to simmer. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove mixture immediately as it starts to simmer.
- Allow sugar mixture to cool for 10 minutes and then pour over orange juice and leave for 15 minutes.
- Strain mixture using a muslin cloth. Pour into a sterilised bottle and place cap on bottle.
- Allow to cool and store in the pantry for up to 12 months. Or pop it in the fridge to enjoy immediately.
- Enjoy mixed with water or soda water, using 1 part cordial and 4 or 5 parts water.
