Cordials

• 1 1/2 cups caster sugar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 300g frozen or fresh raspberries
• 6-8 drops rosewater

Place sugar, lime juice and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add raspberries and increase the heat to bring to a simmer. Simmer for 8-10 minutes then remove from heat and stir in rosewater. Allow to cool. Pour the raspberry mixture into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Press mixture through a sieve to remove seeds. Store cordial in a clean, dry jar.
To serve, add a little cordial to iced water, soda water or lemonade.
