Meanwhile make the syrup; In a small saucepan combine the sugar, water, lemon juice and sliver of lemon peel and boil for 10 minutes. | 11. When Galaktoboureko is done and still hot from the oven, spoon syrup over a little at a time until absorbed by the pastry. | 12. Cool completely, cut into diamond shape and serve. | 13.
