Originally cordials were made from wild fruits or leaves and flowers, boiled with honey, and later alcohol was added to the mixture to preserve the syrup. These alcoholic drinks were medicinal. Today the recipes do not contain alcohol anymore, and honey has been replaced by sugar. Also called squash, cordial is…
Lemon Cordial is a delicious mix of freshly squeezed lemons, water and sugar. It mixes perfectly with water or tonic for a fresh, zesty drink that takes us back to summer picnics, sunny BBQs and happy childhood memories. Making it yourself guarantees no preservatives or artificial flavours, just a wonderfully fresh-tasting drink. Lemonade in the UK is generally considered to be a fizzy, lemon-flavoured drink like Sprite or 7-Up, whereas in the USA, it is a juice made of lemons, water, and sugar. Cordial is like concentrated lemonade in the USA. Once you mix it with water, then it is like lemonade.

I found this recipe in an old Easy Living Magazine I was flicking through last week - it was featured as an idea for homemade gormet picnic foods. Whilst I have no upcoming picnic plans I was inspired to give this recipe a go - I'm not a massive fan of fizzy soft drinks so I mostly drink water, cordials/squash and tea whilst at home. My family gets through numerous bottles of Robinson's orange squash and Bottlegreen's elderflower cordial! So trying to make my own cordial really appealed to me for a bit of a change. I'd never made a homemade cordial before, and didn't realise how easy it is to do. The cordial tasted delicious and my family loved it - it wasn't long before it was all gone! I really liked the passion fruit flavour too - when I looked in my local Sainsbury's store there weren't any similar flavours to this, so it was definately more of an exotic flavour to the standard orange squash I normally drink! Recipe - Passion Fruit & Orange Cordial Makes about 750ml Ingredients: 375g sugar (I used white caster) 6 oranges 3 passion fruit Method: 1. Add the sugar and 375ml of water to a saucepan. Add the zest of one of the oranges to the pan and bring the mixture to the boil - simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring every so often to dissolve the sugar. 2. Squeeze the juice from all the oranges and scoop out the pulp from the 3 passion fruit. Add this to the saucepan and allow the mixture to cool. 3. Once cool, strain the mixture and put it into a bottle. I didn't have anything of a suitable size, so used a couple of empty gin bottles that my mum normally uses for making sloe gin for christmas! You can dilute the cordial with either still or sparkling water - it will keep for up to 5 days in a sealed bottle in the fridge. Make sure you give the bottle a bit of a shake before each serving, then dilute to your preferred strength. Lisa x Tweet

I normally make this cordial in small batches so it is consumed quickly. I cannot tell you if it lasts more than a couple of weeks as it never does in our house. If you wish to make larger batches you will either need to add more sugar or properly heat treat the cordial for storage. I have on occasion made larger batches and heat treated them for storage. This has worked well. To serve, pour the desired amount into a glass and top up with cold mineral water. Add ice and enjoy! I used seven large grapefruit to produce one litre of juice.
