What You’ll Need
- 2 cups Lanzones fruit, peeled and seedless
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 6 cocktail drinks of your choice
Method
Step One
First, you need to prepare the fruit. Take your 2 cups of Lanzones fruit, peel them and ensure they are seedless. Set this aside for later use.
Step Two
Take a medium saucepan and combine the 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Place this on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Step Three
Add the prepared Lanzones to the saucepan with the sugar-water mixture. Bring this to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Continue stirring occasionally, allowing the fruit to release its flavor into the syrup for about 30 minutes.
Step Four
Once the syrup has simmered sufficiently and absorbed the Lanzones’ flavor, turn off the heat. Pour in the tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, stirring it in to blend with the syrup.
Step Five
Allow the syrup to cool, then strain it into a clean container, leaving behind the fruit pulp. The Lanzones simple syrup for cocktails is now ready to be used.
Step Six
Add the Lanzones simple syrup to your chosen cocktail drinks (use as much or as little as per your taste). Enjoy your cocktails with a unique tropical twist from the Lanzones fruit.
