Ingredients
- 600 g Rhubarb stalks (never the leaves), chopped (grown in the garden)
- 4 cm piece Fresh ginger, sliced
- 200 g Caster sugar
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
Green items are crops you can grow yourself.
Method
- Put the rhubarb, ginger, sugar and 600 ml water in a pan and simmer for 15 minutes until the rhubarb has collapsed.
- Leave to steep for 30 minutes, then strain through a sieve lined with muslin without pressing hard, so the cordial stays pink and clear.
- Stir in the lemon juice and taste, adding more sugar if needed.
- Bottle and chill. Dilute with still or sparkling water, or top up prosecco for a pink fizz. Keeps for 2 weeks in the fridge.
