A couple of months ago I posted a request for a recipe for lemon chile
cordial. Luke kindly responded to people who asked what in the world
it was. (A sort of drink syrup that you store in the fridge and mix
with water when you want to a drink. Kind of like a liquid Kool Aid
concentrate.)  Elsa, on this list, gave me some suggestions and I
FINALLY had a bit  of a play. This sort of goes along with the chile
lemonade thread a  few days ago (which I'm still reading because I've
been so busy).  Here are my notes:  I made a simple syrup by heating
the water and sugar until the sugar  had dissolved. I then thickened it
a bit by boiling for awhile, maybe  5 minutes, max. As it was boiling,
I added the chile flakes to get  some of the oils out. Put that mixture
and the lemon juice into a  bottle with a swing top and shook it all
up. Let it sit in the fridge  overnight. To mix a drink, I put ice in a
glass added one part syrup  to 2 parts water, or so. Of course, vary to
your own personal tastes.  I t  This tastes pretty close to the
commercial stuff that I bought, but  now I can make mine own with the
lemons off my tree and my own chile  flakes!  Posted to CHILE-HEADS
