Make your own fruity flavoured cordials and follow our easy 'how to' video.

Points to remember

• Put 300g golden caster sugar in a large saucepan with 300ml water. Bring to a simmer then add the zest and juice of 2 lemons and 450g of your chosen fruit. (We used either rhubarb, peach or strawberry.)
• Cook the mixture over a medium heat until the fruit is falling apart.
• Pour the mixture through a sieve lined with muslin into a clean heatproof jug then transfer to sterilised bottles. Keeps in the fridge for up to 1 month.
• Serve approx. 25ml of cordial per 100ml sparkling water, or to taste.
