How to Make Homemade Rose's Lime Juice Lime Cordial

Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This creates a simple syrup.
Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
In a large bowl or pitcher, combine the cooled simple syrup, lime juice, and citric acid.
Stir well to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
Add the rosewater (optional, for a more delicate floral note).
Strain the cordial through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or jar.
Store in the refrigerator. Your homemade Rose's Lime Cordial will last for several weeks.
