Ingredients
- 6-8 limes (they should weigh around 500 grams in total and yield 200-250ml juice)
- 2 teaspoons tartaric acid
- 2 ½ cups caster sugar
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Juice limes. Add tartaric acid and stir to combine.
- Use a fine grater to get zest from two of the limes.
- Add sugar, zest and water to a saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just starts to simmer. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove mixture immediately as it starts to simmer.
- Pour sugar mixture over lime juice and leave for 15 minutes.
- Strain mixture using a muslin cloth, pour into a bottle and place the lid on the bottle.
- Allow to cool and store in the pantry for up to 6 months. Or pop it in the fridge to enjoy immediately.
- Enjoy mixed with water or soda water, using 1 part cordial to 4 or 5 parts water.
