Apple Cider Syrup

Whisk together 1 tablespoon apple cider, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small bowl.

Pour cornstarch mixture into syrup in the saucepan, whisking continuously until fully incorporated. Simmer until thickened, with a consistency similar to warm maple syrup, about 5 minutes. The syrup will thicken upon cooling.

Serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
