Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- First things first, juice those lemons! Get a juicer or just use your muscles. You’ll want about a cup of fresh lemon juice, so squeeze away until you reach that glorious amount. Don’t forget to strain the juice to avoid those pesky seeds floating around.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar. Heat over medium-low heat while stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. This should take just a few minutes. We’re basically creating a sweet, tart potion here!
- Once the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is coming together, remove it from the heat. Allow it to cool completely. Give it some time to chill out; you can even put it in the fridge so it’s nice and cold for when you need it.
- Once your zesty syrup has cooled, transfer it to a clean glass jar or bottle. It will keep in the refrigerator for about a month—if it lasts that long without you sipping it by the spoonful.
- Now, the fun begins! Drizzle it into your cocktails, mix it in your iced teas, or use it to sweeten your lemonade. The possibilities are endless!
And there you have it—your very own Lemon Simple Syrup! It’s sweet, it’s tangy, and it’s just waiting to jazz up your next drink. So go ahead, make it, share it, and watch the smiles bloom like lemon blossoms. Cheers to deliciousness!
