👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:
Prepare Ingredients: Peel and slice the lemons, and wash the forsythia.
Cook the Syrup: Add water to a pot, put in the forsythia, and boil over medium heat. Reduce to low heat and cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the forsythia's aroma to fully release.
Add Lemon and Rock Sugar: Add the sliced lemons and rock sugar to the pot. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the rock sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup becomes thick.
Filter: Pass the cooked syrup through a fine sieve to remove forsythia residue and lemon peel, resulting in clear Lemon Forsythia Syrup.
Cool and Store: Pour the syrup into a clean glass bottle, let it cool, and seal for storage.
👉🏻✨TIPS
Maintain low heat during cooking to prevent the syrup from burning.
Use fine cheesecloth or coffee filter paper for filtering to obtain clearer syrup.
After cooling, the syrup can be stored in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life.
