Lathaji,
I have stored that recipie in my system and I had cut and copied it. While doing so there was a problem. Thanks. Now I have changed it

Fresh Lemonade Syrup recipe

3 cups sugar
1 cup boiling water
3 cups lemon juice (16 lemons)
2 tablespoons grated lemon peel

Dissolve sugar in boiling water. Cool. Add lemon juice and peel, mixing well to combine. Cover and store in refrigerator up to 1 week.

To prepare lemonade for 1 serving, combine 1/4 to 1/3 cup syrup and 3/4 cups cold water in a glass, stirring well.

You can add slices of fresh lemons in the pitcher or a slice slit in the one half of a lemon slice and place it on the glass.

Use it within a week even if you store it in the refrigirator.

Handy syrup tips which I got from my aunt:

1. Make fruit syrup by adding 2 cups sugar to 1/2 cup of any kind fruit juice and cooking until it boils.

2. If syrup crystallizes, set the bottle in a pan of cold water. Heat gently and crystals will disappear.

3. A pinch of salt added to boiling syrup prevents crystallization.

4. Pour the syrup from canned fruit into ice cube trays and freeze for later use. They can be added to punch, etc.

Coffee Syrup recipe

This syrup is usually stirred into cold milk (2 to 3 tablespoons per glass). It can also be used to flavor milkshakes, or used as an ice cream topping.

The ingredient amounts will vary depending on your coffeemakerfilter size and how much syrup you want to make.

General directions:
Place enough coffeepowder and pour hot water to make 6 servings. Run the coffee cycle as usual.

When u get, the decoction discard the used coffee grounds and add to the filter a second quantity of coffee sufficient to make 6 servings. This time, instead of adding fresh water, pour the decoction. Run the coffee cycle again. You'll end up with double-strength decoction.

Repeat the process again, using new coffee, but reuse the decoction. In the end, you'll have triple-strength brewed coffee.

Measure the amount of decoction. Add half as much sugar as there is brewed coffee. For example, if you have 5 cups of decoction, add 2 1/2 cups sugar. Stir briskly until the sugar is dissolved. Make sure you add sugar while the coffee is hot so that the sugar dissolves.

Store the syrup in a tightly covered jar in the refrigerator. It keeps a very long time.

Almond- saffron syrup:

Almonds - 1 cup
saffron - 1/2 gm
sugar - 2 cups
water - 1 1/2 cups
Badam essence - 1 tsp

Soak almonds in hot water and peel them. Put saffron in warm water . Blend both to a fine paste, adding a little water.
Take a heavy- bottomed pan and add sugar and water to make a syrup. When the syrup starts boiling add the almond paste and stir well to avoid lumps. When the syrup starts boiling add badam essence. Allow it to cool and store in refrigerator.
Badam milk - Add 2 tsps of syrup with hot milk.
Badam milk shake - Blend syrup, ice cubes, ice cream or milk.
You can make simillar syrup with pista and cashew nuts also.
