  2. Combine 6 cups of water and 1/2 cup of sugar

    In a large pitcher, combine 6 cups (1.4l) of water and 1/2 cup (100g) of sugar. Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved.

A little kitchen wisdom

Always use fresh limes for the best flavor. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar depending on the tartness of your fruit.
