Scale
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup blood orange juice, freshly squeezed (about 3 small oranges)
- zest and juice from 2 large limes (juice should be roughly 1/4 cup)
Instructions
To make the simple syrup
- Combine the sugar, juices and zest in a small saucepan. Heat over medium until the syrup comes to a simmer and the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and allow to steep until the saucepan is cool to the touch on the bottom. Strain the zest from the syrup, using the back of a spoon to press as much juice from the zest as you can. Discard the zest.
- Store in a sealed container or jar. Syrup will last for a few months in the fridge.
