How to Make 50 50 Fruit Cordial
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups granulated sugar with 1 cup of lemon juice and 1 cup of orange juice (or use 2 cups of either juice).
- Zest the rind of 2 lemons and 2 oranges (or 4 lemons or 4 oranges). Add the zest to the sugar and juice mixture.
- Squeeze the juice from 2 lemons and 2 oranges (or 4 lemons or 4 oranges). Add this freshly squeezed juice to the bowl.
- Carefully pour 4 cups of boiling water over the mixture, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely. Once cool, strain the cordial through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp or zest bits. Bottle the cordial in sterilized bottles.
- To serve, dilute with ice-cold water. Mix one part cordial to four parts water to taste. Adjust to your preference for a sweeter or tarter drink.
