*Fermented rhubarb cordial: In a kilner jar add 300g of English rhubarb cut into 1cm cubes, 1.5l of water and 15 grams of White Labs Champagne Starter Yeast. Leave for 5-7 days, checking daily. Strain the liquid through a coffee filter. Weigh the strained liquid and add caster sugar (1.5 x the strained weight) and citric acid (25 grams per kilo of strained liquid). Stir until the citric acid and sugar have dissolved. Store in a sterilised bottle in fridge for up to 2 weeks.
**Dill syrup: In a blender, add 200ml of water, 5 grams of fresh dill. Blend then strain through a coffee filter. Weigh the liquid then add caster sugar (20% of the weight of the strained liquid) and citric acid to taste. Strain and bottle.
