LEMON CORDIAL



Lemon Cordial image

This is SO much nicer than store bought cordial and with not too much effort. Everybody I know loves it when I make my own cordial. For those that have never tried home made, use the cordial sparingly as it seems strong than store bought. May be start with 1/2 inch in your glass and adjust according to your taste. I have also made this with other citrus fruits. You could use 3 oranges & 3 lemons or just use limes. Delish!

LEMON CORDIAL



Lemon Cordial image

Tangy/sweet refreshing summer drink...with a twist. I mix the cordial 1/4 with water or soda. Wonderful with a drop of Bombay Blue Sapphire, can be added to pound cake or drizzled over the top of lemon muffins. A spoonful in a cup of black tea is divine. Makes for a wonderful iced tea. So many uses, be creative, enjoy.
