How to Make Orange Cordial
- Wash and thoroughly scrub 1kg of oranges.
- Finely grate the zest of all oranges, ensuring no white pith is included. Set aside.
- Juice the oranges, straining out any seeds or pulp. You should have approximately 700ml of fresh orange juice.
- Combine the orange juice, zest, 1kg of granulated sugar, and 500ml of water in a large saucepan.
- Stir over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for approximately 15 minutes. Do not boil vigorously.
- Remove from the heat and let the cordial cool completely. This may take a few hours.
- Once cooled, strain the cordial through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any remaining solids. This will result in a clearer, more vibrant cordial.
- Transfer the strained cordial into sterilized bottles and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy your homemade cordial!
- Dilute with chilled sparkling or still water to taste before serving.
