How to store this Keto ginger lemon cordial?
To store this cordial, allow it to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight jar. The cordial can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It is important to note that the longer the cordial sits, the stronger the flavor will become. So, it's recommended to taste it periodically and dilute it with warm water if desired. To extend its shelf life, freeze it in ice cube trays and use it as needed. Simply thaw the ice cubes in the refrigerator or at room temperature before using it.
How to customize this recipe?
To add a spicy kick, increase the amount of ginger used in this recipe or add a dash of cayenne pepper. To change the flavor profile, experiment with different citrus fruits, such as lime, and add herbs, such as basil or mint. For a refreshing fizzy twist, dilute the cordial with sparkling water.
Can you consume cordials when on a Keto diet?
Many traditional cordials are high in sugar and can contain as much as 20-30 grams of carbs per serving, making them unsuitable for those on a Keto diet. However, it is safe to consume cordials made with Low-carb sweeteners like stevia, allulose, or monk fruit sweetener. Additionally, using fresh ingredients such as lemons, limes, or berries can provide natural flavor and added health benefits without unnecessary carbs.
