Lemon & Ginger Cordial

Powerful lemon burst with a ginger, peppery after taste…delicious!

Mr Fitzpatrick’s Lemon and Ginger cordial is famous for its flu and cold resolving qualities. Both key ingredients are typical, traditional components to a natural home remedy for a bunged up nose, a “groggy” head or achy muscles and joints.

In a cordial it’s our great tasting medicine! We recommend that you mix with sparkling water, for that extra kick, or try still water for those who want to enjoy each of the flavours. When drinking to try and alleviate a cold or flu it can be extra comforting served hot.

Contains:

• Lemon – high in vitamin C, citric acid (which is anti-bacterial and capable of killing some viruses)
• Ginger – famously alleviates nausea, can aid in helping with gas or indigestion. Ginger also has a reputation for Relieving arthritic pain and helps ease cold and flu symptoms.
