  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Tip

TO SERVE: Mix as you would regular cordial (to taste) over ice with chilled/soda water.

You can use a vegetable peeler to remove thin strips of zest. Blitz 5 secs/speed 9. Scrape bowl and repeat if required.

Excess lemon and orange zest can be dehydrated for future use (zest seperately) eg: lemon powder, lemon salt, orange powder, orange sugar, or even a natural food colouring. Avoid white pith as it will give a bitter taste.

Alternatively, you can store zest in a jar or ziplock bag in the freezer - you’ll always have fresh zest on hand.

50/50 Lemon and Orange cordial concentrate will store unopened for a few months, as long as it is stored in a properly sterilised bottle. Once opened, keep in the fridge.

If using less-refined sugar, note the finished cordial will be darker in colour than pictured.
