1
Juicing the Limes
Cut the limes in half and use a juicer or a reamer to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp if desired.
2
Making the Lime Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the lime juice, sugar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat and let cool.

3
Mixing the Drink
In a glass, combine 1 part lime syrup with 2 parts cold water or soda water. Stir well to mix.
4
Garnishing
Add mint leaves for garnish, if using. Fill the glass with ice cubes and serve immediately.
