My plan is that as our garden prospers and I discover delicious recipes to use the produce in, I will share the recipes with you. We don't actually have a fruiting lemon tree, but a while ago someone at Nathan's work left some for people to grab and we had lemons in our fridge that needed using.
As a child I made this lemon cordial recipe. It is so easy that a child can make it and it doesn't involve any cooking. You just need to use a tiny bit and it quenches that thirst for something slightly sweet and tangy when you just feel like a little something more than water. You can keep the concentrate in the fridge and mix up drinks as you need them.
So here is the recipe:
Lemon Cordial
4 lemons
3 c sugar
2 t tartaric acid
2 c boiling water
Peel lemons with a potato peeler and put in a heatproof bowl with lemon juice, sugar and acid. Pour over water and stir to dissolve sugar. Leave to seep and cool. Strain and store in the fridge.
