Prep Time 10

Pour the boiling water and sugar into a large pot.
Zest and juice the four lemons, and add it to the pot along with the citric acid.
Simmer over a low heat until all the sugar has dissolved.
While the cordial simmers, wash and steralise your bottles (look in the blog post for my method).
Strain the cordial using a clean muslin cloth or cotton tea towel (you could miss this step if you don't mind lemon rind in your cordial).
Pour into your prepared hot and steralised bottles and screw on the lids.

Pour a little cordial into the bottom of your glass (you will work out how strong you like it).
You could drink with ice cold water or soda water.
Grate a little fresh ginger on top of the coridal and pour boiling water over the top. Great for when you may have a cold.
Use as a mixer for when pouring yourself a gin or vodka.
