Рецепт Recipe For Lemon, Lime And Bitters
My friend Kim lives in Perth and I have been very fortunate to have been able to visit her to see where she lives. The first time I was there she drank lemon, lime and bitters, which I had never heard of before. I love the name of the drink but not having ever tasted it as it has sucrose, I had to use my imagination to create something at home. Traditionally this is a drink made with lemonade, lime cordial and Angostura bitters. I love bitters in my gin and tonics, and even just in plain soda water as a refreshing change to what I drink. Being on a cordial kick at present I decided to make a cordial using the ingredients as suggested by the name lemon, lime and bitters, rather than what the drink should be made of. The result was the most addictive cordial I have ever tasted. I mixed it into my water bottle at a ratio far higher than what I normally would do, and I could not get enough! It is sweet and tangy and very syrupy. I am looking forward to summer weather, and using this to flavour an ice cold G&T.
- Lemon, Lime And Bitters
- Lemon, Lime And Bitters ALL RIGHTS RESERVED: An original recipe from Lavender and Lime
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon Juice and zest of 1 lime Sugar - I used fructose
- 10 dashes Angasturo bitters (or more to taste)
Juice the lemon and lime into a measuring jug and make a note of the mls Place into a saucepan Weigh the sugar to be the same as the juice (i.e. if the juice measures 100mls you need 100g sugar) Add to the juice and place the saucepan on a high heat Stir to dissolve and then bring to the boil Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes Remove from the heat and add the zest Leave to cool Add the bitters and stir Place into a sterilized glass bottle
Store in the fridge Strain into a glass with water or soda water, adding enough for your taste buds, I like mine strong Reduce the sugar by 10% if you don't want it sweet. This makes a very syrupy cordial. 3.2.2802
