Clarified Lime Mint Cordial
This cordial is an excellent answer for bartender who doesn’t want to muddle limes and smash mint for their mojitos. This recipe takes a lot of time and you have to be really careful with measuring the ingredient and executing it.

recipe notes
Once you have done it several times, it’s actually quite fast and easy to prepare.
I mainly do this Cordial while I’m also doing the blanched basil syrup, so I save one step in doing the blanching step because it takes time as well as space.
The critical part will be to measure out the ingredients exactly. By the way, the citrus juice is the leftover we use on weekends. The lime juice is not good enough for drinks anymore, but it serves its purpose well as an ingredient. Further, it helps to reduce waste and save some money. The only upside down is that I save money but use time instead.
And while you do the lime peel, think about not keeping too much white pith on the peel. Because it also works as a gelling agent, and then your result will be pudding-like.
Let it slowly run through the cheesecloth and wait a day. You should end up with an almost clear liquid.
