Margarita Mix
- 3 cups water, heated
- 3 cups sugar
- 3 cups, fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 1 cup, fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, lime zest
- 2 tablespoons, lemon zest
This green depression glass antique lemon reamer is ideal for squeezing lemons & limes. Check out your local antique mall for this affordable collectable that will be very useful in your kitchen.
Use a lemon reamer to juice the limes and lemons. After reaming the fruit, using a citrus squeezer will maximize yield from the limes (you may find this step unnecessary for the lemons).
Heat the water until it boils. Stir in sugar, and then cool to room temperature. Add the juices and zest. Refrigerate overnight. Strain out the pulp and zest before use – unless you like your Margaritas chewy.
