1. Place sugar, water & lemon peel in a large pot and bring to a boil.
2. Cover and reduce heat simmering for 30 minutes.

4. Remove lemon peel ... let cool.
5. Cover tightly; pour into a clean bottle or wide mouth jar (mason). Close tightly and store in a cool dark place for about one month.

Caution - Homemade coffees, wines and liqueurs do not have the shelf life of commercial brands! In many instances the use of extracts is preffered instead of cooking and breaking down fruits - to expedite the ageing process and prevent acidity or fruit sedimentation (this also sometimes prevents the natural flavours to permeate the liqueur)! Sugars, coffee, chocolates, and fruits added with water can introduce contaminants to liqueurs so refrigerate upon opening, serve and enjoy as soon as possible!
