this refreshing, tangy lemon cordial is such a nice drop to have on these hot summer days...yes it is still stinking hot in these parts...and better yet, is super easy to make
8 cups cold water
1 kg sugar
1 kg sugar
8-10 lemons - rind and juice
2 tsp citric acid
2 tsp tartaric acid
2 tsp epsom salts
Peel and juice the lemons, place into a pot with the water and sugar and bring to a gentle simmer (I normally throw the rest of the lemon into the pot too to intensify the flavour), once the sugar has dissolved stir through the remaining ingredients and leave to cool.
Once cold strain and bottle. Dilute with chilled water....enjoy!!
I'm not too sure how long this will last in the fridge as it goes fairly fast around these parts but we have had it for up to a few weeks with no problems

My kids have been pestering me to make lemon cordial, which I've never done before. Looks easy and yummy :)
Yes this looks delicious Tammi. The weather here is rainy and about 18 degrees, this recipe sure is tempting though.

My oldest just loves to make lemon cordial I might suggest this recipe for her to give a try. It sounds lovely and refreshing with these hot days we've been having. x
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe Tammi...i love lemon cordial but have never tried to make my own...i wonder if it would work with the lemon juice i have frozen or do you need the peel as well?
I use this recipe - it's great isn't it?
I haven't seen one with the addition of epsom salts before but co-incidentally I am magnesium deficient at the moment and this cordial recipe would be very valuable. Thanks for sharing it. It sounds like an old recipe, where did you get this one from?
looks like such a lovely summer drink! am bookmarking this for the weekend :)
Have a happy day xx Kel
Looks fab...might give it a try.
Nothing more refreshing than a cool lemon drink on a hot day. What a great recipe Tammy, you always come through with the lovely ones xo
That recipe looks easy and yum. I've toyed with the idea of cordial making but it never got past that mental point into action. xx Fi
How divine! We've been living off lemonade this summer, but I've been meaning to make this! You're my inspiration ;) xx
