Equipment
- Saucepan
- Chopping board
- Kitchen knife
Ingredients
- 2 lemons sliced to ⅛-inch thickness
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Cut the lemons into ⅛-inch thickness.
- In a saucepan, add water and sugar on medium-low heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add lemon slices and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the lemon slices become slightly translucent (try to keep the lemon slices in one layer).
- Turn off the heat and place the lemon slices on a single layer on a wire rack.
- Let the lemon slices cool down for about 1-2 hours. Then cover them and put them in the fridge.
Notes
- If your syrup becomes too thick while simmering, feel free to add more water to thin it out.
- You need to slice the lemon as thin as possible. You can either use a mandoline or a sharp knife. If the lemon slices are too thick, they will take too much time to cook.
