8 gfood-grade malic acid
400 gwater
1 gsalt
1 gsugar

Method

5 steps
01

Peel the limes.

Use a vegetable peeler, taking as little white pith as possible. Save the peeled fruit for another use.

02

Combine the peel mixture.

Combine the peels and dry ingredients (citric acid, malic acid, salt, and sugar) in a bowl or jar. Stir to combine.

03

Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

04

Add the water and blend.

Blend lightly until the peels are roughly fingernail-sized.

Don't overblend this. Smaller pieces of peel, especially pieces with white pith, can make it bitter.
05

Strain and bottle.

Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a sanitized bottle and refrigerate. It's best within 1 week, but it's still usable for another week (it just won't be as good).
