- 500 g white sugar
- 250 ml water
- A slice of lemon
Measure sugar and water in separate containers. Cut a thin slice of lemon.
Place the sugar in a deep pan and add water to it. Stir both ingredients on medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Add in the lemon slice and reduce the heat to a very low flame. Let the syrup boil and thicken over the low heat until the lemon has turned translucent and the syrup starts to change its color to a light amber tone.
Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool down to room temperature. Remove the lemon slice and strain the syrup into a clean jar to remove any residual lemon pulp in it.
- The syrup will still appear runny when you remove it from the heat and will thicken after it has cooled down.
- If, after the syrup has cooled down to room temperature and is still a bit too runny, you can always return it to the heat and let it thicken for a few minutes.
- On the other hand, if you find that your syrup is overcooked that it has turned too thick, you can always add a little boiling water to it and reboil the syrup.
- As soon as the syrup starts to boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
