Ingredients:
13 limes, 1 lb. lump sugar.


Directions:
Put the sugar into a clean saucepan. Grate off the green part of the rinds of 6 limes and sprinkle over the sugar. Now moisten the sugar with as much water as it will absorb. Boil gently to a clear syrup. Add the juice from the limes, stir well, and pour into clean, hot, dry bottles.
Cork tightly and cover with sealing-wax or a little plaster-of-Paris mixed with water and laid on quickly. Add any quantity preferred to cold or hot water to prepare beverage, or use neat as sauce for puddings.
