Lemon Oleo Saccharum

30m

Oleo saccharum is a mixture of citrus peels and sugar that is commonly used in cocktail making. This term comes from Latin, with “oleo” meaning oil (which comes from the lemon peel) and “saccharum” meaning sugar.

In this recipe, we are making Lemon Oleo Saccharum, which means we are using lemon peels to create the syrup. The result is a very flavorful and fragrant syrup that can be used to add a bright, citrusy flavor to cocktails and many other drinks.
