Step 1: Prepare the Lime Juice Start by juicing the 4 Fresh Limes. Roll them gently on the countertop to release more juice. Cut the limes in half and use a citrus juicer or your hands to extract the juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp, and set it aside.

Step 2: Create the Simple Syrup In a small saucepan, combine equal parts of water and sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the simple syrup to cool down. You can also buy Simple Syrup at the grocery store if you don't want to make your own.
