Herb-scented cordial with geranium

I continue to share recipes with you from my participation in the Summer preserves course, this time is a recipe on herb-scented cordial, which is very, very easy to make.

Instead of geranium leaves mint, lemon balm, lemon balm in combination with rosemary could be used for infusion of cordial.

I will use the basic cordial recipe in my little for some other herb-scented cordial version.
