Calamansi Juice (Filippino Lemonade)

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup white sugar (We won't need so much but extra can be stored in the fridge.)
• 1/2 Cup water
• 22 Calamansi Limes (You want to get 1/3 freshly squeezed lime juice.)
• 2/3 Cup water
• 1/4 Cup simple syrup (Or to taste. It will taste nicer if you add more but I wanted the drink to be healthier!)

Instructions

1. 1

   --- Simple syrup ---

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   --- Lime Juice ---

4. 4

   Wash the limes and cut in half.

5. 5

   Squeeze the limes over a strainer to catch the seeds.

6. 6

   Dilute with twice as much water as juice. (This ensures you still have good flavor but don't need to use so much sugar.)

7. 7

   Stir in the simple syrup. Taste and add more if necessary.

8. 8

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