Steps:
- Finely grate the lemon peel into a small bowl, avoiding any bitter white pith. Then slice the lemon in half cross-wise, and then squeeze its juice into a separate bowl. Leave both the finely grated lemon peel and the juice on the countertop while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Dump the cherries into a large, heavy pot. Next, scoop lemon zest into the pot over the cherries. Drop in the cardamom pods and ginger. Then, pour in the water.
- Bring the ingredients to a boil over medium-high heat, and then immediately turn down the heat to medium-low. Continue simmering the cherries and spices together over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
- Arrange a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl or wide-mouthed pitcher, and then line it with cheesecloth or butter muslin. Pour the cherries into the lined sieve, allowing the juice flow into the bowl. Press the cherries with a wooden spoon to extract as much juice as you can, and then discard the spent cherries, preserving the juice.
- While the juice is still hot, stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely, and then stir in the lemon juice.
- Pour the finished cordial into a jars or flip-top bottles, and seal them. Let it cool to room temperature, and then transfer it to the fridge where it will keep about 6 weeks. Alternatively, freeze the cordial in glass jars (allowing at least 2 inches of head space) up to 6 months.
- Spoon 2 to 4 tablespoons into a glass, and then fill with sparkling water.
