Lemon syrup is an timeless classic! With its tangy freshness and its beautiful intensity, it brings a lively touch to all your ice creams made with the Ninja Creami. Perfect for coating, marbing or even adding a refreshing note to drinks.
Ingredients :
- 250 ml of fresh lemon juice (about 4 to 5 lemons)
- 200 g of sugar
- 150 ml of water
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest (optional, to intensify the flavor)
Preparation :
- Heat the water and sugar
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. - Add the lemon juice
once the sugar is dissolved, adds the fresh lemon juice. If you really want to intensify the flavor, you can add a teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest. - Let simmer
lets simmer over low heat for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the syrup thickens slightly. - Let cool
remove the pan from the heat and let cool at room temperature before pouring the syrup into an airtight container. It keeps in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
My Personal Tip:
This lemon syrup is a small bomb of freshness on a yogurt or vanilla ice cream made with the Ninja Creami. For a more daring dessert, try to use it to marble a red fruit ice or a mango sorbet. And if you love homemade cocktails, adds this syrup in a lemonade or a Tonic gin for a tangy and refreshing drink.
This is a simple recipe, but ultra-effective to add a touch of tangy freshness to your frozen desserts. With this homemade lemon syrup, your Ninja Creami creations will be even more greedy and brilliant of flavors!
