HOME FARM ROSE GERANIUM CORDIAL
Ingredients
350g water
200g sugar
5g citric acid
5g dried Rose Geranium
1g crushed whole black pepper
0.5g dried orange peel
Method
Add all ingredients into a ziplock bag (we use environmentally-friendly reusable silicone bags from a company called Stasher).
Sous Vide at 55° for 2 hours, halfway through moving the bag around to help dissolve the sugar.
If you don't have access to a Sous Vide, add all your ingredients into a pot, bring to a boil, turn off the heat and then allow it to steep for 3 hours.
Strain through a coffee filter, bottle and store in the fridge up to 2 months.
