Instructions
- REMOVE peel from lemons from top to bottom with a vegetable peeler. Slice peel into thin ribbons.
- PLACE in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then drain immediately. Repeat 2 times to remove bitterness.
- RETURN peel to saucepan. Add 1 cup sugar and water and bring to a boil. Simmer until tender, about 15 min. Drain, reserving syrup for another use, then place peel onto a paper-towel-lined plate. Toss peel in remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl until well coated, then transfer to a plate to dry completely.
Kitchen Tip: Use leftover lemon syrup in cocktails that call for simple syrup, or in a non-alcoholic sparkling lemonade: Combine 1/2 cup lemon syrup, 1/2 cup lemon juice and 2 cups club soda. Serve over ice.
