Lemon Cordial

This recipe is sourced from a friend of my mother in law!

Ingredients

2kg sugar
50g Tartaric Acid (NOT Cream of Tartar!)
Juice of 6-8 lemons
Peel of ½ the above
A little less than 3 pints of boiling water

Method

1. Pour boiling water on all the ingredients and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. (a plastic bucket is perfect for this).
2. Cover with a tea towel and leave until cold (overnight or at least 12 hours).
3. Remove peel and strain mixture through sieve. (You will want to push some of the mushy bits through to get all the yumminess)

Makes around 3-4 bottles
