Recently I have been thinking a lot more about the food we consume and the additives in them. I drink a lot of water, but sometimes it is nice to have something a bit different with dinner. This thinking plus a lot of left over mandarines that really needed to be eaten ASAP got me to ask ‘how hard is it to make cordial’ – the answer EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY!!!
I used this fruit juice cordial recipe. Firstly I squeezed the mandarines to find out how much juice we had then worked out the sugar/water/tartaric acid combination. Add soda water and it is as yummy as any commercial soft drink.
While looking at recipes and concepts, I discovered some really interesting combinations. One of them being this cola recipe and the fact that there is an open source recipe for cola.
