Beetroot cordial
Is there anything better than homemade cordial? Try a new taste and make your cordial with beetroots and pomegranates. Nice taste and delicious colour.
Ingredients
500 g beetroot
250 ml water
1 pomegranate
1 packet Dansukker Lemonade Sugar
Instructions
If you bought raw beetroot, boil the beetroot fully submerged in water for about 10 minutes.
Peel and chop the beetroot into small pieces and boil with 250 ml water and the seeds from the pomegranate for a further 10 minutes. Blend and leave to cool down to about 45 °C.
Add the lemonade sugar and stir until dissolved. Cover and leave to stand at room temperature for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Bring to the boil, but do not allow to boil, and then strain. For clear cordial use a muslin cloth and leave the cordial to drain.
To maximise shelf life, boil the strained cordial for about 3 minutes. Pour into a clean, warm bottle and seal well. Store in the refrigerator.
