Learn how to make this tasty Lemon Simple Syrup with this amazing old fashioned recipe. A great copycat Torani syrup perfect for beverages, desserts, and more!
Equipment
- 1 Sauce Pan small
Ingredients
- ¾ cup lemon juice fresh squeezed for best results
- ¾ cup sugar
Instructions
- Juice fresh lemons until you have ¾ cup lemon juice. This will take 4-10 lemons depending on size and juiciness. Add lemon juice and sugar to a small saucepan over medium high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a simmer and simmer for one minute, not stirring. Keep an eye on it, it has a tendency to boil over.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool before transferring to another container.

Notes
- This yields around 1 ¼ cups syrup
- Once the sugar is completely dissolved, stop stirring. This will help it last longer before crystallizing.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
- Do not make this recipe with less sugar, or it will be very thin and runny.
- For a thicker "pancake syrup" double the sugar and make as directed. This thick syrup is less stable and will likely crystallize in a few weeks.
