Pineapple Citron Syrup
A lovely pineapple syrup enhanced with the addition of citron and lemongrass. Perfect for mixing mocktails, cocktails and flavoring desserts.
Ingredients
- 1 Pineapple Overripe
- 1 Citron Small
- 1 Lemongrass stalk
- 2 cups Sugar
Instructions
- Cut off the crown of the pineapple. Wash the skin of the pineapple thoroughly then chop the pineapple into chunks. Cut the citron into pieces as well. Smash the lemongrass open with a rolling pin or dull edge of a knife.
- Arrange the pineapple, citron, and lemongrass in a medium pot. Pour the sugar over the mix and add in 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once it boils, reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Let the syrup cool down in the pot for about 30 minutes. Strain out the syrup. Don't be afraid to press down on the pulp in the pot to get the juices flowing out.
- To get that super clear syrup, I strain a second time through two layers of coffee filter.
