    "excerpt": "A homemade cordial built on ginger tea and fresh root ginger, sweetened and sharpened with lemon for a fiery fizz.",
    "content_text": "Making your own cordial sounds fiddly but really is not, and the result knocks the bottled stuff into a hat. Ginger tea gives you a clean, warming base, and crushing a little fresh root ginger into the steep pushes the heat up to something with real backbone. Sweetened and sharpened with lemon, it keeps in the fridge for a fortnight and turns a glass of plain sparkling water into a proper homemade ginger fizz.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.
