Combine equal parts sugar and warm water until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Strain the mixture to remove the lemon peel.
This syrup can be used in a variety of ways, such as in cocktails, lemonade, drizzled over yogurt, in marinades, salad dressings, or to sweeten tea.
For the lemon peel, let it sit in salt until you are ready to process it.
Once ready, spread the peel out, chop it if desired, and allow it to air dry.
