A-Z of Homemade Syrups and Cordials - Two Magpies Publishing
Tricks
Introduction
It is incredibly easy to make syrups and cordials at home. Essentially the process involves steeping or cooking your chosen ingredients in liquids – waiting – straining – and then consuming! Cordials are the historical descendants of herbal medicines; they were made in Italy as early as the thirteenth century and were often prepared by monks and other healers. Nowadays, syrups and cordials are made worldwide and served in many ways: by themselves, poured over ice or ice-cream, with cocktails or with any manner of dessert. Some are prepared by infusing certain woods, fruits or flowers in water, and adding sugar or other items, and yet others are distilled from aromatics.
To make a syrup or cordial, the preliminary ingredients are usually cooked, be it spices, vanilla, flowers, caramel, peppermint, fruits, coffee…etc. with a basic syrup, consisting of roughly equal amounts of sugar and water. The mix is then brought to the boil, simmered for a further twelve to twenty minutes and taken off the heat. It is then strained if necessary. This rough guide will of course change from recipe to recipe, though it is a good place to start. The wonderful thing about making your own homemade products is the fun one can have with creating customised labels and garnishes to the finished bottles (think berries, citrus zest, herb sprigs) – a perfect present as well as personal treat. We hope that the reader is inspired by this book to start making their own syrups and cordials, a delicious as well as rewarding pastime. Enjoy.

Equipment and Preparation
The equipment needed for cordial and syrup making is rather basic, and you may already have most of it around the house. You will need saucepans, any earthenware or non-porous bowls and either glass or plastic bottles (size and amount dependent on the batch size you are intending), as well as material (usually muslin) for straining. When you have cooked the ingredients in a saucepan (heavy bottomed jam boilers work best), you may find it useful to purchase a
