Tips
- If you get the white stuff from the lemon in the zest, it's going to be super bitter.
- If you want a super clear syrup, run it through a coffee filter.
- The sugar extracts the oils from the zest, giving you natural lemon flavor.
- Once it comes to a boil, kill the heat right away and strain it.
- There is not much lemon flavor in the lemon juice, so to get the lemon flavor, you need the lemon skin/zest
