Taste test: Fruit cordials
Water can quickly become uninteresting as a thirst quencher but it can easily be pepped up with a slice of lemon or lime, strawberries or raspberries, and a few leaves of mint and ice. Also, cordials are easy to make and ensure we are not consuming chemical additives.
Make one by juicing and grating the rind of three lemons, adding a litre of hot water in which you have dissolved 500g sugar. Allow it to cool before diluting with icecubes.
