Method
- Put all the ingredients in a pan with 275ml water. Stir over a low heat until the sugar dissolves, then simmer for 10 mins or until the rhubarb has softened. Set aside to cool completely.
- Strain through a fine sieve into a jug, letting it drip slowly (don't push the fruit through or the cordial will be cloudy). Pour into a sterilised bottle* and chill for up to 1 month. Serve 1 part cordial to 4 parts soda water over ice with lime slices.
