Zubereitung von Lemon Zest
- Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce the heat to low and add 1/4 cup finely grated lemon zest (from about 2-3 lemons).
- Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the syrup slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids. This step is optional but results in a smoother syrup.
- Pour the cooled syrup into a clean, airtight container (such as a small bottle or jar).
- Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
