What is the golden syrup
We will tell you immediately: it is not maple syrup.
The golden syrup is one syrup based on sugar, water and lemon used particularly in England and the United States as a sweetener for drinks or for the preparation of sweets and biscuits because it has the same consistency as honey. Given that in Italy it is difficult to find the golden syrup ready, we will explain how to prepare it at home.
Just cook over low heat 500 g of sugar, 250 ml of water and a tablespoon of lemon juice until it reaches a fairly dense consistency.
