2. Push through a sieve, then leave the liquid to cool

3. Store for up to a week in a 250ml sterilised bottle (wash it in hot, soapy water first, then put in the oven on a low heat for 10-15 mins)

For the mocktail:

4. Pare the zest of the other lemon and set aside. Squeeze all the lemon juice into a jug, then pour in 100ml blueberry syrup, or more to taste, and stir to combine
