Monin Lemon Rantcho: sugar-free, pulp-free lemon concentrate made with 50% Sicilian lemons, used like fresh lemon juice. Single 1 litre bottle from France.
This is a concentrate rather than a sweet syrup. Monin describes Lemon Rantcho as sugar free and pulp free, made with 50% Sicilian yellow lemons, with a fresh, sharp aroma and the taste of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Monin says it is used like fresh lemon juice, which saves time squeezing and gives a consistent sourness from glass to glass. Use it in lemonades, lemon-mint drinks, iced teas and sodas, or to balance sweet fruit syrups. In the kitchen, it can stand in for lemon juice in dressings, marinades and glazes. Because it is unsweetened, pair it with a sugar syrup or a flavoured syrup to taste.
