Lemon, Lime And Bitters
This cordial mix is so amazing, you will find any excuse to have a drink to use it.
Makes enough for: 1 batch bitters
Ingredients
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- 1 lime, juice and zest
- fructose, weight to be determined by juice
- 10 dashes Angostura bitters, or more to taste
Method
- Juice the lemon and lime into a measuring jug and make a note of the mls
- Place into a saucepan
- Weigh the fructose to be the same as the juice (i.e. if the juice measures 100mls you need 100g sugar)
- Add to the juice and place the saucepan on a high heat
- Stir to dissolve and then bring to the boil
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes
- Remove from the heat and add the zest
- Leave to cool
- Add the bitters and stir
- Place into a sterilized glass bottle
- Store in the fridge
- Strain into a glass with water or soda water, adding enough for your taste buds, I like mine strong
Notes
Reduce the sugar by 10% if you don't want it sweet.
This makes a very syrupy cordial.
