Easy to make, and highly recommended if you're making cocktails for a party. One batch covers a lot of drinks and keeps for two weeks.
Ingredients
6 itemsMethod
5 stepsPeel the limes, keeping the peels in roughly fingernail-sized pieces.
Combine the peels, sugar, citric acid, malic acid, and sea salt in a bowl or jar. Stir to combine.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature, stirring once every 30 minutes, for 2 hours. The acids will draw the oils out of the peels.
Add the water and blend lightly, just enough to incorporate. The peels should still be roughly fingernail-sized when you're done; over-blending will make it bitter.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a sanitized bottle. Keeps refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
