This Granadilla (Passion Fruit) and Ginger Cordial takes 10 minutes to put together and gives you a lifetimes worth of smugness, especially if you make the sugar free version which I’ll explain below. That means no string of E-numbers and preservatives, just pure passion fruit and ginger flavor, and that glorious chilled fizz.

Passion Fruit and Ginger Cordial Recipe

Recipe for homemade Passion Fruit Cordial with hints of lime and ginger

INGREDIENTS

➲1-2 Tsp. grated fresh ginger.
➲1 cup boiling water.
➲²/₃ cup light brown sugar.
➲2-3 Tbsp. lemon or lime juice.
➲1 cup (2 tins) passion fruit pulp.

METHOD

Add all of the ingredients except the passion fruit pulp to a medium-sized pot and simmer gently until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, add the passion fruit pulp and leave to sleep for 5 minutes, or up to an hour.

Sieve the mixture into a serving jug, leave to chill to room temperature then transfer to the fridge and serve with ice cold sparkling water as and when you like. I usually mix approx 1-2 Tbsp of the cordial per glass of sparkling water.
