Rocks Orange Squash Organic 740 ml (Pack of 6)

Product Information

On average, a good-sized lemon has roughly 2-3 tablespoons of juice and about one tablespoon of zest. But to get this amount of zest from a lemon, you may need to watch your fingers! Yes, fruits like oranges, grapefruit, and lime are perfect. However, you must adjust the sugar level to balance other fruits. 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.

Adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference. Start with the suggested amount and adjust accordingly. However, it is also rich in sugar, so we wouldn’t suggest drinking it as a health drink. But in moderation, it does provide some help against preventing scurvy! In addition, it makes a beautiful edible giftfor friends and family who love baking or cooking. Ingredients to make Orange cordial Fresh oranges Once zested, microwave for roughly 10-20 seconds until warm. This helps break down the lemon, creating more juice.This ingredient is optional; however, it helps to preserve the cordial. I made the orange cordial concentrate without the citric acid, which lasts a couple of months if kept refrigerated. Citric acid can be replaced with tartaric acid. Orange cordial recipe First step: Zest oranges. As well as water, mixing it with tonic or soda water (sparkling water) adds a light fizz which emphasises the taste perfectly. Stevia is made from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It is much sweeter than sugar, so you may need to experiment to find the right amount to use. Stir through, dragging the muddled fruit to the top. Garnish with a flamed lemon rind (hold piece of rind over hob to burn it slightly and release its oils), or just a wedge of lemon squeezed over the top, rind side down, to release the lemon oils onto the surface of the drink.

Once cooled, store your Lemon Cordial in a freshly sterilised bottle either in the pantry or the fridge. This will last for up to 3-4 months unopened. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and drink within 10 days in a closed-lidded bottle. Can Lemon Cordial be frozen?I made this recipe with raw honey and was overjoyed with the outcome as the striking orange hue of cordial had been retained. In addition to its sweet taste, honey has enzymes, minerals, and antioxidants that are good for our well-being. Citric acid The sort of cordial we’re making requires no distilling or alcohol and claims to offer no medicinal benefits. In the UK, Australia and New Zealand, what might be known in the States as syrup is known as Cordial or Squash. Making cordials, wines or jams is a way to preserve fruits or herbs in season and enjoy them the whole year. Agave nectar is a natural sweetener made from the sap of the agave plant. It is sweeter than sugar, so you may need to use less. Once you’ve done this, cut your lemon in half and juice it. Make sure you let your juicer gather up the flesh of the fruit and its seeds. You don’t need this.
