¼ cup (60 g) Fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons (30 g) Heavy cream don't substitute
1 tablespoon (14 g) Butter unsalted or salted
¼ teaspoon Vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon Sea salt omit if using salted butter

Instructions

Add the lemon juice and sugar to a small saucepan. Place over low-medium heat and stir to dissolve sugar (1-2 minutes). Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes to create a thin syrup.
