Diabetic Lemon Cordial Recipe

By Cathy from Townsville, QLD (Guest Post) 01/21/2009

Hi Lesley,
You can either juice some lemons, and use to mix with a sweetener (I use Sugarine liquid as it is the only one without carbs) and water. You can make it as strong as you want. Alternatively, have a look in the supermarket for Weight Watchers cordials in bottles or packets. They are ready to mix with water.

Coles have a two-for-$6 deal at the moment on the Diet-Rite brand (their tropical cordial is to die for). Good luck!

Now that I think I understand what lemon cordial is, here's what I would do.

This has information on a variety of liquid Sucralose products that you could use in place of the basic simple syrup (sugar water) that goes into most cordials, and then all you would need to do is add the lemon juice and poss. the tiny amount of alcohol that goes into some of the recipes.

Good luck! I might have to try making some of mine own after reading all these yummy sounding recipes!

Cordial is a drink syrup you mix with water and it is called cordial in Australia, not sure if it is the same in the US. I am diabetic so I have to use sweeteners not sugar. I have a lemon tree and need to make lemon cordial.

Thanks,
Brian from Australia

RE: Diet Lemon Cordial Recipe

I avoid sugar too, because if you're not diabetic now, it will someday make you fat enough to turn diabetic. I am a fan of Splenda or similar brands of sucralose. I have yet to find any recipe with water in it that does any less than wonderful, and it will make your lemon cordial very nicely. Just put the word 'sucralose' in your browser and see where it is sold for you. I went through thirty pages of links as to its safety, and I've had a bit of training in recognizing good versus bogus research, and I am satisfied with it, for everything from morning cocoa to fruit smoothies to homemade ice cream. God bless you! (06/25/2007)
