Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup grand marnier

  3. Cut the remaining orange peel in half (or into strips).
  4. Place the orange zests and half of 1 of the lemons in a large saucepan. Add water to cover and bring to a boil for 15 seconds. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again. Discard the lemon half.
  5. Repeat step 4 two more times, each time covering the zests with fresh water and adding another lemon half.
  6. Combine the 3 cups water and the sguar in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
  7. Add the zests and the remaining lemon half. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 15 minutes.
