    The experimental, do-whatever spirit of your videos is one of my favorite things about your channel, Pete.

    oh boy, I remember that Aria gin when I went to Portland, it was lovely, I wish I could get kumquats here.

      Oh I don't know where you are, but other citrus will also work!

    Citrus shrubs are definitely tough to work with! I love that you showed your thought process of working out how to make something good with it though. 👏

      Thanks! i thought that would be more interesting than just presenting a drink fully formed.

    Hey Pete, I have never worked with Kumquats. They look like they have some interesting tastes.

    • @UnclePete
      @UnclePete  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yeah they are pretty good! mostly tart and citrusy, they are mostly peel to be honest.

    excellent video, vibe - and set!! question: when adding water, are you adding weight equal to the sugar you'd previously added (a la most simple syrups) OR to the weight of the mixture as a whole (which would be 2x the sugar weight)? thanks

      The weight of the sugar I previously added! Thanks!

    How did you go about calculating the amount of acid to add to the cordial?

    • @UnclePete
      @UnclePete  Před 4 měsíci +2

      2% by weight so: for 100g of syrup use 2 g citric acid. I had 350g syrup so I did 7g acid. (Approximately)
      You can of course use more or less

    Ya blood oranges now here, but no kumquats sadly. BUT I do have a kumquat liqueur!

      @UnclePete  Před 4 měsíci +2

      I bet blood orange would be tasty!

  • @miksologia
    @miksologia Před 4 měsíci

    So how much hot water did you put in? Equal to what? Would you say that adding 2% citric acid and 1% malic acid to any flavored syrup would make it a cordial? I find cordials in general very interesting but this seems to be the first simple recipe I've come accross.

    • @UnclePete
      @UnclePete  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Hot water is equal to the weight of sugar used, and the weight of fruit.
      I think of cordials as a citrus thing. Adding citric acid to raspberry for example might be weird because citric acid is in citrus not in raspberry (for exampe)
      Of course you should try things that sound good to you and if you want to try making a cordial with other fruits, go for it!
