Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- ½ Cup white sugar (We won't need so much but extra can be stored in the fridge.)
- ½ Cup water
- 22 Calamansi Limes (You want to get ⅓ freshly squeezed lime juice.)
- ⅔ Cup water
- ¼ Cup simple syrup (Or to taste. It will taste nicer if you add more but I wanted the drink to be healthier!)
Instructions
- 1
Over medium or medium-low heat, stir the sugar into the water till dissolved. Be careful not to let burn. Transfer to another container so it can cool more quickly.
- 2
Wash the limes and cut in half.
- 3
Squeeze the limes over a strainer to catch the seeds.
- 4
Dilute with twice as much water as juice. (This ensures you still have good flavor but don't need to use so much sugar.)
- 5
Stir in the simple syrup. Taste and add more if necessary.

Recommended: add some ice cubes as the drink tastes amazing cold!
