I do something similar: I cut the lemons very thinly with a food processor. I then add the sugar to the lemon slices and let the lemons macerate in the sugar for an hour or two. After that 1-2 hours, mash the lemon/sugar mix with a glass or potato masher. Add about a cup of water and then bring to a boil. Cool/strain. It's roughly the same process, but saves the work of zesting. Macerating with the sugar and mashing draws out the lemon oil in the same way with much less effort.
I do this but use way less water so its badically a sweet and sour syrup that can then be added to tea or club soda or still water or drizzled over a hot cake and allow it to soak in... very versatile stuff. Grapefruit makes the best cordial you can use it to make salty dogs or Palomas
I made this today with my almost 3 year old daughter. I would describe it as simply the lemoniest lemonade you’ve ever had. I may add another half cup of sugar next time to the recipe posted as it’s very tart (which I like!), but overall very simple and very refreshing!!
3 to 4 months is insane! :O definitely doing this instead of the regular lemonade. Less waste, more efficiency and lasts super long. What else can I ask for?!
looks awesome. i definitely will try freezing the cordial in ice cubes for longevity and easy dispensing but will compare to see if it wrecks the fresh flavour
Just made this today. Tastes amazing, unlike anything I’ve had before. But be advised, it is incredibly concentrated and definitely needs to be diluted.
You should make a short film, all dramatized with slow motion action shots, of an all out fight between you and the fridge. Sometimes the fridge is getting the better of you, sometimes you're getting the better of the fridge. In the end you're both lying on the ground on your backs, gasping for air because you're wore out. Or if you're cool with you're neighbor, maybe have a red fridge in his backyard peeking over the fence at your fridge, they fall in love and the red female fridge moves into your backyard. Eventually they get married and have a mini-fridge...😂
When I left the USA to move to Australia (almost 20 years ago), Crystal Light had been out for awhile. I still preferred sweet tea but wanted something less sugary. However, Australia still hasn't gotten into the crystal light stuff. We have cordial - a super concentrated liquid with sugar, though some have sugar substitute - but my absolute favourites are Golden Passion fruit and Strawberry lemonade flavours. I mix a few tablespoons of liquid cordial to a litre of ice cold water and enjoy 😊
I respect your opinion, but for me personally, nothing can beat the simple pleasure of lemonade, I don't know how or why, but drinking it just makes me happy.
I heard, if you rub 1 cup of, freshly squeezed lemon juice, along with Icelandic Sea Salt,1 teaspoon of capers, and extra, extra, virgin olive oil, and peppermint essential oil, you can grow hair back. Yeah, I didn’t think so either.
Lemon Cordial recipe
12 lemons zested and juiced
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups lemon water
How much water do you add
Thank you because I squeeze about 1800 lemons a year because I looove lemonade. And I’m definitely trying your recipe!
@@chris00gcg enough water to only just cover a layer of lemons
Thank you ❤
@@janelynn2560 How long have you squeezed lemons?
That pour into the jar was top notch
Not a drop waisted 😅
Lol wasted it allll
Gotta have that rage bait for guaranteed interactions
Looks like something I would do.
@@AltimaNEOcant blame him
This is like an elevated lemonade. Looks delicious
Elevate, next level, smoke craaaaaack oh YEEAAA!!!!
I honestly don't understand why cordial isn't more popular in America, give this a shot you won't regret it!
We love it here in the UK
Just needs some vodka or gin
Takes more time
There is so much flavor in this! I think I've found my new favorite summer beverage base. 🍋🍋🍋
Because it's more work, duh.

I'll try that. Zesting lemons is incredibly tedious

Aw sounds nice my family uses limes the flavour is less sour and u need less sugar compared to with lemons
the spill lmao
3 to 4 months is insane! :O definitely doing this instead of the regular lemonade. Less waste, more efficiency and lasts super long. What else can I ask for?!
If they ever take the fridge, they're takin me with it.
Love that you’ve brought back the catchphrase - nice one!!!
light sonny has returned
The best catch phrase in the market right now
This is marvelous. Did you come up with this yourself?
Much success and health to all.
I wish you the best with your recovery. Such an inspirstional story for such a funny guy to beat cancer.
I don't think he has cancer, he just shaved his head.
When life gives you lemons
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂baaaahhhaaaahhhhaaaa
Fuck 'em and bail
looks awesome. i definitely will try freezing the cordial in ice cubes for longevity and easy dispensing but will compare to see if it wrecks the fresh flavour
YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU IN THE MOUTH 😂
🤣🤣😂
*And I'm out 😂
Me watching this while drinking lemonade :
👁👄👁
Mr. Refrigerator, glad to see you still holding on 😊
Looks amazing and refreshing!
Bless your heart 😌💕
Gonna try this! But the sound effects got me tho! 😂
Him -“Combine with whatever type of water you like”
Me -“Vodka”
Looks like a fancy lemonade. All the ingredient of a lemonade is there with added flavor from the zest.
I believe you've done this one before. Was one of the first vids I saw by you. Good stuff 😊
Is the second boil with the lemon juice necessary? Wouldn't boiling lemon juice destroy some of the "freshness" of it?
Looks good.. And super lemony
I just subbed. That's a great idea.
I need to do this!!
Bro becomes Mike Tyson after tasting his own recipe
Just made this today. Tastes amazing, unlike anything I’ve had before. But be advised, it is incredibly concentrated and definitely needs to be diluted.
Bro spilled half the lemonade._.
Cordial is a staple in an Aussie household, Cottees is the best!
Yum! Please post this again in January when my Meyer lemons are ripe. 😀❤️
Lol omg this is awesome ❤❤❤🎉 also, I thought you were gonna make limoncello 🤤 🍋 ❤
Oh yeah, that fridge deserves a good ass kickin with this one
Good idea I think I might try that
I've always soaked the zest in the sugar overnight to release the oils, then mixed with the water and juice. Does your method work the same?
Looks good.
Spilled a drop
My brother in christ, this is literally just "state fair lemonade" with half the water.
gonna try it
Looks good
TRYING THIIISSS!!❤😂😂
That sounds good

Thank you!! You're the BEST 😁
ps: I feel for that fridge 😂😂
😄👍Good Stuff, Great Tips
You are so great!

Makes lemonade base that you add seltzer or water into.. beats lemonade?
You literally just made classic state fair style Lemonade, lol. You just wanted to call it Lemon Cordial to make it sound like something fancy.
You warmer up the refrigerators bread basket 😂😂 with that combo
Great recipe. And kudos on the apron use, dude.
Lars really branching out
This is so popular in Australia
Like how he talks with some efficiency😂
Next time I have a chance I'm making this, it looks heavenly
The oils from the zest really bring it home!
I love this man 😍
My guy you killed any and all vitamin in that lemon
that is how good lemonade is made
I respect your opinion, but for me personally, nothing can beat the simple pleasure of lemonade, I don't know how or why, but drinking it just makes me happy.
It just seems like the fancy version of lemonade.
The Italians Perfected this next Level.....its called Lemoncello
Correct
Lemoncello has vanilla flavor on it too
And vodka.
I dont like lemon jello
WE perfect everything! 😉🇮🇹
I've been a fan of this dude since that reverse sear steak video. Did that for my anniversary, and I was sucked dry later that night by my wife lol.
Yummm!!!
What did the fridge ever do to you, lol But i do enjoy the attacks immensely, along with all your shows, & the oh so delightful sign off
Vodka??
Awesome, but that's just extra tasty lemonade.
You were so close to being right about lemon cordial > lemonade, but the correct order is lime cordial > lemon cordial > lemonade
I just watched the original version of this like 3 yt shorts back lol!
and don't forget to spill 10% of it on the counter.
Going to make this with myer lemons!
I’ve had it and it’s good, and better then perhaps some lemonades, but I’d still prefer a nice perfectly balanced ice cold lemonade over this.
No; start by soaking lemons in warm vinegar water to remove pesticide residue, insects, and wax!
Can I use sweetener instead of sugar?
I would personally call it lemon squash, but it looks delicious whatever you call it
In it, not at it! Re the pouring 😂
He said “now add the lemon juice.” 😊
I could totally hang out with this person
It wouldnt last in our home a day we adore lemonade, its hot here in the panhandle of Florida 😂😂❤❤❤
Put a hat on bro!!!! Regardless your content mad entertaining keep up the good work 😂
Take back what you said. I will destroy you.
Lowkey just looks like lemonade with extra steps
Is it important to spill half of it on the counter?
Use organic lemons when zesting.
I heard, if you rub 1 cup of, freshly squeezed lemon juice, along with Icelandic Sea Salt,1 teaspoon of capers, and extra, extra, virgin olive oil, and peppermint essential oil, you can grow hair back. Yeah, I didn’t think so either.
‘When life gives you lemons’ look in his eyes for a second, don’t be scared and watch the video till the end. 🤣🤣
Add some lemongrass to it.
Amen
I almost missed the sugar and I thought, "Surely you jest, Sir!" I caught it on the replay.
Fridge vs Crawford. I'D pay😅
What is the purpose of the one minute boil on the zested lemons?
do you have to strain to serve?
First time I know of this will try.
I plan on trying the cordial method for my family’s citrus-ade.
Can you do it without sugar??
Bro!! New sub here. What’s the history of beating the fridge? Haha 😅
Did you get any in the jar brother??
what did the fridge do?????????
lets take a moment of silence to remember that fridge rip
*Sees lemonade stand kid “I don’t even know why you would want to make lemonade when you can make lemon cordial” 🙄
I love this guy
