When I was making the syrup, my heart was really unresolved. My husband bought white sugar and lemon, and it took a few days before he plucked up the courage to make it.
Before making it, I asked two friends, and they both suggested that I buy syrup for use. If I am not good, the crust will crack. To be honest, I bit my scalp to make it. I'm afraid that the syrup will crystallize when it is boiled, and the mooncakes that are baked will crack.
The syrup was very cool that day, but I was still sweating. It has just rained and the light is not so good. After it was boiled, let it cool and it was a bit thick, but it was already poured into the bottle. I was afraid of tossing, so I didn't add water and boiled it again.
Tried to bake a few moon cakes and it was not bad. The syrup is a bit dark and thick, and it’s a bit hard to stir. The baked moon cakes were still fine, and the oil returned in a day. The finished picture was taken with the syrup that I added water and re-boiled, which is slightly thicker than honey.

Ingredients

400g White Sugar
50ml Lemon Juice
180ml Water

Homemade Invert Syrup

1. Preparation materials: white sugar, lemon, water

2. Pour the white sugar into the stainless steel pot

3. Add water

4. Stir well

5. Bring to a boil

6. Lemon squeeze

7. Add it to the boiled syrup

8. After it is boiled again, continue to boil on a low heat, the syrup will splash on the pot wall, soak the syrup on the pot wall with a brush dipped in water, so that there will be no crystallization

9. It must be boiled on a low fire, you can see that the color of the syrup is gradually darkening

10. When it is slightly thinner than honey, turn off the heat

11. After cooling, the texture is similar to honey, or slightly thicker

12. Put it in a clean container, keep it tightly sealed, and it can be used for one day. Of course, the longer the time, the better the effect.

Tips:
It must be boiled on a low heat. The boiled syrup has the same texture as honey, or a little thicker. The syrup will thicken when it cools. So be sure to turn off the heat when it is thinner. If you accidentally boil it thick, you can add water. Boil it again, if it is battered, it will be useless.
