Meyer Lemon Syrup

Holy Hannah. This stuff is fantastic. You may not think about lemon syrup when you normally thimk about pancakes or any hot breakfast, but please let me convince you. The other day I had a bunch of meyer lemons to use and it was a saturday so we were wanting something special for breakfast.

I started to get everything out for buttermilk syrup and I suddenly realized that these new Greek yogurt pancakes I had made would be delicious with Meyer Lemon Syrup. MMMMMMM. Ding, ding, ding! We were literally licking our plates. It’s so creamy and bright. Oh, it’s so good!!!

Should Syrup be Refrigerated?

Syrup should be stored in the refrigerator.

Refrigeration will inhibit the growth of mold.

Is Meyer Lemon the Same a Lemon?

Meyer lemons don’t have the same tang as regular lemons.

Meyer lemons are a cross between regular lemon and mandarin orange.

What can You Substitute for Meyer Lemon?

If it is hard to find Meyer lemons, you can substitute a combination of juice or zest.

To replace the juice (or zest) of 1 Meyer lemon, simply swap in the juice (…or zest) of 1/2 a tangerine and 1/2 a regular lemon.
