Calamansi Juice

Ingredients

• ¾ cup sugar
• 4 cups water
• 1 cup calamansi juice

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup of the water. Cook, stirring regularly, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
2. Halve the calamansi fruit and extract the juice by hand or a juicer. Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain and discard seeds and skin.
3. In a pitcher, combine calamansi juice, simple syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to combine.
4. Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours or serve over ice.

Notes

If serving over ice, make it a tad stronger as the melted ice will water down the taste.
