First simmer zest in 1 quart water for 6 min. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside. Bring sugar and water to simmer. When sugar dissolves, cover pan and boil a few minutes until last drops of syrup fall from the end of a metal spoon to form a thread. Remove from heat, stir in peel, and steep 1 hr.
