Lime Simple Syrup:
Fresh-squeezed juice from 2 limes
2 tbsp lemon juice (store-bought or fresh-squeezed)

Steps:

Lime Simple Syrup 1. Pour the lemon juice into a jar. 2. Squeeze the juice from the two limes and pour into the jar with the lemon juice. Set aside. 3. Measure the water and sugar and pour both into a pot. Boil the water over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes or until all the sugar has dissolved. 4. Turn off stove and allow sugar mixture to cool for a couple of hours While sugar mixture is cooling... Jasmine Tea: Boil water and pour into tea pot with 2 bags of Jasmine tea. Allow to steep for about 5 minutes (more or less depending on how strong you want your tea). Allow tea to cool. After sugar mixture has cooled, pour into jar with the lemon and lime juice and mix until combined. Pour jasmine tea over ice into a glass and add about 2-3 table spoons of the lime simple syrup depending on how sweet and "lime-y" you want it. Enjoy! Save the rest of your lime simple syrup in the fridge. For best results, make one cup at a time.
