For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. A splash of orange blossom water or rose water (about 1 teaspoon) added towards the end of cooking can add an exquisite floral note. Be patient during the simmering process; do not increase the heat to rush it, as this can lead to burning and a bitter taste. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, bottled lemon juice is acceptable, but the flavor will be slightly less vibrant. The finished molasses should coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, continue simmering for a few more minutes. If it becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
