Ingredients

• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup Freshly squeezed lime juice

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sugar syrup cool to room temperature.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once the syrup is cool, combine it with the lemon and lime juices in a large mixing bowl or pitcher. Stir well to blend.

Step 6

Transfer the sweet and sour mix to a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 7

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and shake well before each use.
