Roasted Lime Syrup
Roasted Lime Syrup: A sweet liquid made by dissolving sugar in a flavored liquid and concentrating it as needed. Sugar level controls sweetness and body; it does not by itself establish a shelf-stable preserve.
Context
Separate juice, colored zest and white pith according to the preparation. Zest carries aroma, juice provides acidity, and too much pith or aggressive charring brings bitterness.
Example
A menu could use this preparation as a measured drizzle over an unsweetened dessert base. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.
How THT uses it
At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
