Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups sugar 300g
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • squeeze lemon juice
  • 1.5 tbsps rose water
  • 1.5 tbsps orange blossom water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and lemon juice. Set on a stovetop over medium high heat. Stir just to combine then let it be. If sugar isn’t dissolving you can stir a couple times but as soon as it starts to boil stop stirring. 
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from stove immediately once 10 minutes is over. It should have thickened to the consistency of maple syrup.
  3. Once off the heat, stir in rose water and orange blossom water, and transfer to a container to cool.

Notes

  • Syrup adapted from Cleobuttera's kunafa recipe.
