Drink: Lemon Syrup
The perfect drink: lemon syrup recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 5 Organic lemons
- 125 g Sugar
- 250 ml Water
- For the syrup, wash the lemons with hot water and remove the peel from the lemons with a zest zipper. Then squeeze the lemons.
- Bring to the boil together with the zest, the lemon juice (also about 250 ml), the water and the sugar and then reduce by half on a low heat. Then filter the bowl through a sieve and fill the syrup into boiled screw-cap bottles. We also turn the bottles upside down for a few minutes with jam.
- This way the syrup will keep for at least six months and if opened in the refrigerator, I have had a bottle standing for a few weeks.
- This syrup tastes good to mix in Selter or topped up with hot water if you have a cold. It also gives the lemon note to fruit salads and quark dishes.
- TIP 5: This syrup can also be made with limes in the same way.
