Chilli Cordial image

This is a nice flavoured cordial with a bite. The recipe was by Jackie French, although there are others which are similar as it is a simple recipe. You can vary the heat by varying the number of chillies used. I have quite a few chilli plants so I am always looking for ways to use them up.
