This syrup can be made using any citrus fruit - I particularly like using either limes, lemons, oranges or blood oranges. Citrus syrup is great to have on hand to serve with fruit or ice-cream or to give added intensity to a dessert using the same flavour.
Ingredients
Method
- Zest and juice the fruit.
- Bring the castor sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan and cook without stirring over a high heat until a pale caramel forms. Add the zest and juice and cook over a medium heat for a further 15 minutes until the mixture is syrupy.
- Pour the syrup into a stainless steel bowl to stop the cooking process. Allow it to cool compl
