  • 1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 3 Tbs. tapioca starch
  • 1/2 c. fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • zest from 2 lemons (zest them first, then squeeze them)
  • 1 c. water
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla

Directions

1. In a saucepan, whisk all ingrediets except vanilla and lemon zest.
2. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it comes to a rolling boil.
3. Once at a rolling boil, stir until thickened. Reduce heat to low and stir for a few more minutes. You want the mixture to be very thick, almost like a pudding.
