Instructions

1. Grate the lemon zest over the sugar and rub them together with your fingers so the sugar takes on the aroma.
2. Mix the cornstarch with a little of the cold water. Heat the rest with the sugar and, when it boils, add the cornstarch while stirring.
3. Let it boil for 2 minutes, until clear and slightly thick. If you like, add a splash of lemon juice. Instead of lemon, you can flavor it with a few drops of vanilla extract.
