Preparation

• Combine all ingredients in a large jar and seal the lid.

• Steep the mixture for a couple days. (If desired, place jar a sunny spot to give the mixture a yellow hue.) Stir and taste often, as it can get too spicy if left too long.

• Strain out the solids and reserve liquid.

• Next, make a rich simple syrup by putting water in a small pot and bringing it to a boil. Add the sugar to the boiling water, stirring constantly until it is dissolved. Remove pan from the heat and allow to cool completely.

• Add simple syrup, and lime and lemon juices to the steeped liquid.

• Bottle the mixture, give it a good shake and it is ready to use.
