We have a lime tree in our backyard that is absolutely loaded with fruit.
So I decided to have a go at this...it is really good!
You could do the same with lemons.

Get This:
• 8 large limes
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup cold water
Do This:
• Squeeze the juice from the limes and set aside.
• Keep the peels of 2 of the limes, and place in a pot along with the sugar and water.
• Bring it to a boil, stirring constantly and then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, just stirring now and again.
• Remove from heat, add the reserved lime juice and bring back to the boil briefly, whilst stirring.
• Allow to cool and then strain into a bottle or jug. Refrigerate.
• Dilute with water or soda water before serving according to taste.
Lovely! I love limes.
ReplyDeleteWe sometimes just mix up some lemon, water and sugar..but doing it the right way (like this) is so much better. My mum has always made yummy lemon cordial like this. Delish!
I reckon you could mix it with some soda water, bacardi and mint........ just sayin #mojito
