Tips for Making Rhubarb Cordial

• Choose red rhubarb.
• Do not press the pulp.
• If your hob runs hot, keep the heat low.
• Use a clean, sterilised bottle.

Changing the Recipe

• If you only have ground ginger, a quarter-teaspoon for each tablespoon of fresh is the ratio usually given; it tastes warmer and less bright than the fresh root.

Serving Suggestions

• Sparkling water
• Vanilla ice cream
• Prosecco
• Shortbread
