Dragon fruit syrup, with its vibrant pink color and delicately sweet taste, is ideal for topping ice cream, desserts, or drinks. This syrup is perfect for adding an exotic and visually stunning touch to your ice cream creations.
Ingredients :
- 1 pink pitaya (dragon fruit)
- 200 g of sugar
- 200 ml of water
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, to balance acidity)
Preparation :
- Prepare the pitaya
Cut the pitaya in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Cut the flesh into pieces to make cooking easier. - Cook the pitaya
In a saucepan, place the pitaya pieces with the water and heat over medium heat. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, until the fruit becomes tender and releases its juice. - Strain the mixture
Pass the mixture through a fine sieve or strainer to remove any small pieces of fruit and obtain a smooth liquid. Use the back of a spoon to press the pitaya and extract all the juice. - Add the sugar and lemon juice.
Return the dragon fruit juice to the pan and add the sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. If you prefer a more tangy taste, add the lemon juice at this point. - Let it simmer
Let the syrup simmer gently for about 10 to 15 minutes to thicken slightly. - Let cool
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before pouring it into an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for about 1 to 2 weeks.
