I made this today, and I wonder why it took me this long to get around to doing it. Now I can have something to flavour my water with, and I shall cut down on the soda...not only that. I can regulate how much sweetness, or rather lack of sweetness I want in it....Emily loves it and I think Dennis will when he gets to try it...My mind is endless with the possibilities of different fruits I can use for flavour..
8 lemons/limes
500gm sugar
1 cup cold water
***********************
Juice the lemons/limes and put the juice aside. In a pot, place the juiced peel of 1 lemon & 1 lime in a pot with the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Take off the heat, and stir in the lemon/lime juice. Place back on the heat and bring to a boil. Take off the heat, and allow to cool. Pour in an airtight container or jar, and use to your strength or weakness that suits you...
I bought a bottle of sparkling mineral water to have with it...that should be yummy...
