Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. This typically takes about 3-5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sugar syrup cool to room temperature.
While the syrup is cooling, juice fresh lemons and limes to obtain 1 cup of lemon juice and 1 cup of lime juice. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp or seeds.
Once the syrup is cool, combine it with the lemon and lime juices in a large mixing bowl or pitcher. Stir well to blend.
Transfer the sweet and sour mix to a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and shake well before each use.
