- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
1 3/4 litres
ingredients
- 4 cups sugar
- 4 cups boiling water
- 3 cups blueberries, frozen
- 4 teaspoons citric acid
directions
- In a large saucepan combine everything. Simmer over medium heat and stir with wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. Mash the berries as they soften, with the spoon, or a potato masher. I tried an immersion blender which worked ok but the masher was the most effective.
- Once dissolved, let cool, then steep overnight in the refrigerator. This will get the max flavour from the berries.
- Next day, strain into a bottle (clean softdrink is perfect). I used a funnel with a wire mesh strainer over the top, and poured a little at a time. Squeeze the juice from the pulp through the strainer. Set pulp aside - delicious with icecream!
- To reconstitute to a delicious drink, try 1 part cordial to 5 or 6 parts water. This will depend on how sweet you like your drinks.
- KEEP IN REFRIGERATOR.
- It makes 1.75 litres which will creat about 12 litres of drink.

<p>Amazing best friend and hubby of 25 yrs, 3 awesome sons and a beautiful daughter. I am blessed! My reviews prior to 2011 often mention substitutions...This is a hangover from our years living in Fiji where ingredients are not always available. I don't do this to detract from your recipe, but I do mention the subs so others will know what worked. </p>
<p>I love writing, vibrant colours and adventure, and like to combine the three! <img title=Cool src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /></p>
