Lemon lemonade syrup

🧂 Ingredients

1 Add sugar, lemon juice, water and lemon zest to a saucepan.
2 Heat over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
3 Bring the syrup to a boil, then take off the heat. This syrup will be quite
thin. If you want a thicker consistency, simmer the syrup until it gets to the
consistency that you want. Be careful not to let it burn.
4 To make lemonade with this syrup, mix 1 part of this lemon syrup with 3 to 4
parts of cold, sparkling water.
5 If you are wanting to can this recipe, follow proper canning rules. Ladle into
sterilised jars, leaving ½" head space. Wipe the rim of each of the jars with
wet paper towel, place lid on and tighten. Place in canning pot and water bath
for 15 minutes. For best long-term storage, keep jars in a cool, dry and dark
place and use within a year.
