Dandelion & Burdock Cordial Recipe.

Ingredients:

3 TBSP Dandelion Root
3 TBSP Burdock Root
2" Fresh Ginger Root (Roughly Chopped)
3 Star Anise (Crushed)
3 1/2 Cups Water
1 Cup Honey

Recipe Instructions:

Add the roots, ginger and star anise to a large pan with the water and bring it up to the boil.
Simmer over a medium-low heat for around 30 minutes until the roots have infused and the water is coloured.
Strain the liquid through a cloth or very fine sieve.
Add the liquid back into the pan and add the honey or sugar.
Continue heating until the honey or sugar has dissolved and the liquid is thickening into a syrupy cordial.
Pour into a clean jar or two and keep in the fridge.
Serve with sparkling water or tonic, or use as an interesting flavour for cocktails.
