Lemon Syrup
Description
The lemon syrup is prepared by combining granulated sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice from unwaxed lemons, water, and chopped lemon peel in a pot. The mixture is brought to a boil and then simmered for about 10 minutes to extract the lemon flavor and dissolve the sugar fully. After simmering, it is strained to remove the peels and then cooled.
This results in a syrup with a balance of sweetness and citrus brightness. The syrup can be refrigerated in a sanitized container and kept fresh for up to two weeks. Its uses include sweetening beverages, drizzling over desserts, or incorporating into recipes where lemon flavor is desired.
