I have been experimenting with ginger. I'll do a clip soon about ginger spritzer and cordial. I'll have some on offer at the garden visit.

Thanks everyone. I'll bring both bottles to the next GV, unless, Andy, living close, you would like to come round and pick them up.

Boiled the Rosella and strained and then in freezer when mixed with alcohol turned to jelly like pectin test .
If you are on blood thinners i think Rosella will have an effect on that medication.
