Can this be frozen in its cordial form?

Hi, Yes it can, if you freeze it in ice cubes you can use as much as you like each time. Lulu

Absolutely delicious and so quick and easy to make. I could drink this all day!

Next time I will add a little more ginger or possibly grate what I do use to get a bit more of the ginger flavour through.

Would also like to experiment with using less sugar and replacing it with something a little…

There is now a wide range of what Tom Kerridge refers to as ‘ granulated sweeteners’ Which are no calorie! Go figure. Try Sainsburys’ Other supermarkets are available!

Fantastic drink. I add 1 lime to the mix and I keep it for a bit longer so that it becomes more syrup-y and its amazing. Even now in the winter we love it :)

Thanks for your question. We really think this is down to personal preference. You could mix up some in a small glass to see what you like then make up a pitcher if serving for a party. Let us know how you get on!
