Lemon simple syrup is one of those things that can be easier to make than to try and find in the store somewhere. All it requires is lemons and sugar, and a little bit of time.
While I don’t tend to sweeten my drinks often, I like making my own simple syrup at home because I can control how sweet I want it to be, as well as what type of sugar I use.
If you’ve got a gathering or cookout coming up, you can make this lemon simple syrup recipe and place it next to some iced tea or sparkling water for people to add in on their own. Or you can go extra fancy and use it to make a fun sparkling mocktail. The choice is up to you.
Grab these two ingredients
- Lemons – any lemons work here, though my favorite is Meyer lemons as they’re not as tart as regular lemons.
- Sugar – granulated sugar is best for this recipe as you want it to easily dissolve in the lemon juice.
