A sweet and refreshing summer drink

Sharing my recipe for rhubarb cordial today. A great thirst quencher on hot and sunny days.

Ingredients:
300g golden caster sugar
zest and juice 1 orange
zest and juice 1 lemon
450g rhubarb, chopped
1 slice fresh root ginger, peeled

Instructions:
1. Put the sugar in a large saucepan with 300ml water. Bring to a simmer then add the zest and juice of both the orange and the lemon along with the rhubarb and the ginger.

2. Cook the mixture over a medium heat until the rhubarb is falling apart.

3. Pour the mixture through a sieve lined with muslin into a clean heatproof jug then transfer to sterilised bottles. Keeps in the fridge for up to 1 month.

4. Serve approx. 25ml of cordial per 100ml sparkling water, or to taste.
