    "excerpt": "A berry cordial from berry tea, fresh raspberries and blueberries, sugar and lemon, for diluting to taste.",
    "content_text": "A jug of berry cordial topped up with sparkling water beats any shop-bought squash hands down, and this one is half-tea, half-fruit. A strong brew of berry tea gives it depth, while a handful of fresh raspberries and blueberries simmered in adds real fruit colour and flavour. Strained through muslin, it bottles up clear and keeps in the fridge for a fortnight, ready to dilute whenever you fancy a long, fruity drink.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.
