How to Make Lemonade Syrup

  1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup becomes clear.
  3. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature. This prevents the added juice from curdling.
  4. Once cooled, stir in 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (or your preferred citrus juice).
  5. Pour the syrup into a clean, sterilized glass jar or bottle.
  6. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate. Your homemade lemonade syrup will keep for up to 1 year.
