Apple and Cinnamon Cordial
60 days 15 minutes
This is a great cordial to make in autumn when apples are very fresh and crisp. I use Braeburn apples for their tartness.

- Wash and core the apples and cut into slices.
- Before they have a chance to start browning, place the apple slices in a large glass jar, add the cinnamon sticks and pour in the alcohol. Seal the jar.
- Let the cordial infuse for 1 month in a cupboard, shaking daily. Strain into a sterilised bottle.
- Make a simple syrup by boiling the sugar and water together, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool, then add to the cordial to taste (you won't need all the syrup).
- Place the bottle in the cupboard and let age at least a month and up to a year.
