A delicious simple syrup to add color and floral notes to any drink or cocktail. Much like Grenadine, this will enhance your drink and it's delightful.
In a small sauce pan, combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir frequently to dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Note: If you want stronger flavor or deeper color, add another tea bag.
Turn heat off and allow to cool. Remove tea bags and lemon peel. Transfer to storage container. Yields a little over a cup and keeps well up to two weeks.
