Just made this cordial tonight and it is loosely based on the book,
Japanese Farm Food. I really like this book because the stories inside gives me the sense of farm life in Japan which I always love. I said "loosely"based on the book because I never follow any recipe to a T. The cordial is what traditional Japanese families make in the beginning of the summer when abundance of fruits come on the market. I saw these pretty flavorellas (plumcot, plum size with tart yellow skin) at my local supermarket today and I just had to make this cordial. I made with 2/3 of regular vodka and 1/3 of lemon infused vodka because I ran out of the regular one and sugars. Now, I have to wait at least 3 months to try it, but it can make some wonderful cold weather drinks.
