Ingredients
Scale
- Peel of 4–5 lemons
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 to 1.5 oz lemon oleo saccharum
- 1 cup lemon sparkling water or non-alcoholic Prosecco
- 1 oz lemon juice (optional)
- Lemon slice or thyme sprig (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oleo saccharum by washing and peeling your lemons, avoiding too much of the white pith. Place the lemon peel in a jar with an equal amount of sugar by weight. Stir and muddle the sugar through the lemon.
- Cover and leave at room temperature overnight.
- Strain the mixture into a jar using a fine mesh strainer.
- Fill a large wine glass with ice, add the oleo saccharum, and your choice of lemon sparkling water or non-alcoholic Prosecco.
- Taste and add optional lemon juice if desired.
- Garnish with a lemon slice or thyme sprig if preferred.
Notes
For a lower-calorie option, use a sugar substitute in the oleo saccharum and watch portion sizes.
