Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan; stir over low heat until sugar dissolves, brushing down sides of pan with clean pastry brush and extra water.

Add the rind strips and bring to the boil.

Boil, uncovered and without stirring, for 3 minutes. Transfer hot syrup to a large, clean heatproof jug.

Add juice and a few drops of green food colouring to syrup; stir until combined. Pour syrup through fine sieve into hot, sterilised glass bottles; discard solids.
