Wash your bottles in hot soapy water and rinse out.
Place in the oven at 160C and cook for 20 minutes to sterilise them.
Put the lids in for a few minutes to dry them out too. Meanwhile, strain the cordial through a muslin or jelly bag laid over a sieve. You can cover your muslin in boiling water to sterilise it too, but mind your fingers when getting it out!
I usually take the flowers out and squeeze them through a colander first otherwise they clog up the muslin.
Take the bottles out and leave them to cool slightly before pouring in the cordial.
Store in a cool dark cupboard for up to a year...if it lasts that long!
