How to Make Lemon Syrup for Snow Cones

We have used this lemon syrup recipe to make a lemon syrup that is great to use for snow cones. It can also be used for pancake and waffle syrup or to make lemonade.

Things You'll Need

• Lemon juice
• sugar
• water
• cooking pot

Instructions

1. Boil 2 cups of water and one cup of sugar for 10 minutes.

2. Add one cup of lemon juice. This can be either full strength lemon juice concentrate or juice from lemons that you juice yourself and strain out the pulp.

3. Mix the juice together with the boiled sugar water (syrup base). Allow it to cool.

4. Now you have a simple lemon syrup that can be poured over shaved ice for a homemade snow cone. It also can be added to water for lemonade or used in a variety of drinks. Since it already has sugar, lemonade or other drinks made with this syrup will not need to be sweetened further. I even have fun with the kids calling it lemon pancake syrup.
