How to Make Lemon Limeade Concentrate

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to create a simple syrup.
  4. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Once cooled, stir in 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice.
  6. Pour the concentrate into a clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  7. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To serve, mix 1/4 cup concentrate with 3/4 cup of cold water and ice.
