Ingredients
Simple Syrup
- ½ Cup white sugar We won't need so much but extra can be stored in the fridge.
- ½ Cup water
Calamansi Juice
- 22 calamansi limes You want to get ⅓ freshly squeezed lime juice.
- ⅔ Cup water You can omit this but you will need a LOT more sugar to mellow out the sharpness of the juice! Substitute: sparkling water or 5 ice cubes (which you allow to melt into the juice)
- ¼ Cup simple syrup Or to taste. It will taste nicer if you add more but I wanted the drink to be healthier!

Instructions
Simple syrup
- 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.
Lime Juice
- Wash the limes and cut in half.
- Squeeze the limes over a strainer to catch the seeds.
- Dilute with twice as much water as juice. (This ensures you still have good flavor but don't need to use so much sugar.)
- Stir in the simple syrup. Taste and add more if necessary.
- Recommended: add some ice cubes as the drink tastes amazing cold!
