Oleo-saccharum is a delightful lemon syrup made with just two ingredients, lemon peels and sugar. You can use any citrus peels you like - try orange or grapefruit, or a combination!
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook time: 5 - 24 hours rest time
Yield: 2 ounces
Ingredients
1 cup citrus peels, stripped with a vegetable peeler
3/4 cup granulated sugar
Directions
Peel lemons, removing as much of the white pith as you can.
Combine peels and sugar in a bowl and mash with a muddler or wooden spoon.
Cover the bowl and leave it alone for at least 5 hours, up to 24 hours.
Strain out citrus peels by pressing them into a metal strainer. It is a slow process! Be patient and leave them to drip while you do something else. Store the syrup in a jar in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Zhuzh it up!
