Orange Cordial

Directions

1. 1
   Remove the peel from the oranges. Peel thin enough that you don't get any of the white pith.

4. 4
   After 10 minutes simmering, remove from heat. Add the juice and citric acid; stir well.
5. 5
   Leave to cool (about 2 hours).
6. 6
   Strain and bottle.
7. 7
   To serve mix a ratio of 1:5 cordial to water (ie 40ml cordial to 200mls water).
