LEMON SYRUP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium-sized saucepan, add the water, sugar and lemon juice. On medium heat, bring to a boil and continue to boil for 2 minutes. (All the sugar should be dissolved.)
• In a small bowl, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. (Discard the egg whites or save for another recipe) Whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
• Using a whisk, whisk the sugar mixture and slowly drizzle the egg yolks into the sugar mixture whisking constantly. (The syrup will be a deep yellow color.) Add the lemon zest and bring the syrup to a boil.
• In a small bowl, add 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 Tablespoons of cold water. Stir with a spoon until smooth. Slowly add the cornstarch to the syrup and whisk continuously until mixture comes back up to a boil and boils for 1 min.
• Take the syrup off the heat. Serve over waffles, pancakes, french toast, or ice cream. Enjoy!

LEMON SIMPLE SYRUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Using a sharp paring knife , cut off and reserve the zest, or bright yellow part of the peel, of 1 of the lemons. You can also use a Microplane zester, but then you'll have to strain the syrup at the end instead of simply lifting out the strips of zest-the choice is yours. Whichever way you zest the lemon, be sure to focus on the bright yellow part only and carefully avoid the bitter white pith below.
• Working with 1 lemon at a time, cut the lemons in half and juice them until you have 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice (you may not need all the lemons-they vary greatly in how much juice they produce).
• Combine the juice with the sugar in a small saucepan and bring the mixture just to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the syrup is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Add the reserved lemon zest. Transfer the syrup to a small metal bowl and let it sit until cool, about 20 minutes. 
• Lift out the zest, letting any excess syrup drip off and back into the bowl, and discard the zest.
• If you ended up with lots of small pieces of zest, strain the syrup through a sieve. The zest can turn bitter if left to sit in the syrup while it's stored, so remove and discard it.
• If you want to use the syrup while it's still warm, now is the time. (Don't worry, you can always warm it back up if you need to.)
• Alternatively, cover the bowl and chill the syrup to add to cold beverages. Or transfer to a clean jar, screw on the lid, and store in the fridge for several months if you need to.

• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
• Pour the lemon syrup into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top.
• Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles.
• Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Process jars in boiling water in a large pot for 10 minutes; remove jars from pot and allow to cool.
• Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight.

LEMON SYRUP

Steps:

• Scrub the lemons and pare the zest from 4 of them. Bring a pan of water to a boil, drop in all of the lemons, and leave for 1 minute. Lemons are often quite hard and unyielding-this will soften them, and they will give more juice when squeezed. Lift out the lemons and keep the lemon-infused water to one side. Squeeze the juice from the lemons and measure out 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of it.
• Put the sugar, lemon zest, and 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of the lemon-infused water into a saucepan. Heat gently to dissolve the sugar, then bring to a boil. Add the lemon juice and bring just to the boiling point. Remove from the heat and strain through a sieve into a pitcher. Pour immediately into hot, sterilized bottles (see p. 125) and seal immediately with sterilized screw-caps, corks, or swing-top lids.
• Let cool, then store in a cool, dry place or the fridge for up to 4 months. For longer keeping-up to 1 year-sterilize the filled bottles in a water bath (see p. 125).
• To serve, mix 1 part syrup to 4 parts water.
• Another way to increase the yield of juice from citrus fruits is to roll the fruit back and forth over a work surface, pressing down firmly with the palm of your hand, for 2 to 3 minutes.
