SANDRA'S LEMON-KISSED HOMEMADE SIMPLE SYRUP


A terrific addition
to smoothies,
hot or iced tea, cocktails, etc.

Yield: 1-3/4 cups

Prep: 5 Mins.
Cook: 2 Mins.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
Juice of 1 large lemon

METHOD

In a small saucepan, combine the 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.

Pour the syrup into a sterilized Mason pint jar and let cool to room temperature, then stir in freshly-squeezed and drained-through-a-sieve lemon juice. This step is necessary to omit any possible lemon seeds and pulp.
