Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large organic untreated lemons
- 1 liter of fruit non alcohol
- 400 g sugar (or adjust based on preference)
- 1.2 liters of spring water
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the lemons and use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest, avoiding the bitter white pith.
- Place the zest in a glass jar, pour in the non alcohol, seal it tightly, and store it in a cool dark place for one month. Shake gently every few days.
- After one month, strain the infused non alcohol through a fine mesh strainer into another container.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and water to make simple syrup; bring to a boil until dissolved, then cool.
- Mix the cooled syrup with the strained lemon-infused non alcohol and pour into clean bottles. Let it rest for about ten days before serving.
