Method

1. 1

   Remove the zest from the lemons and limes in strips, leaving behind the bitter white pith.

2. 2

   Combine the sugar and zest in a container, and let this sit in the fridge for 24 hours. The sugar will extract the liquid from the citrus peels and produce a syrupy liquid.

3. 3

   Strain the solids out of the peel and sugar mixture.

4. 4

   Mix the peel and sugar mixture with lime juice. This should produce slightly under ½ cup (120 ml) of syrup.

5. 5

   To make the finished soda, mix 1 volume of syrup with 5 volumes of carbonated water.
