This recipe is incredibly simple and wonderfully refreshing for summer.
2 cups lime juice
2 cups sugar
2 cups cherries (I used frozen tart cherries, but you can use whatever you prefer/have)
Mix lime juice and sugar in a medium sized pot over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Add cherries and simmer until the cherries start to soften. Remove from heat and let cool down to room temperature. Pour into a pitcher and refrigerate. When cold, mix 3-4 parts water to 1 part syrup (depending on desired strength).
Variations:
1-We like making ours with soda water.
2-Adjust sugar amount depending on type of cherries or your preference.
3-Strain out cherries before refrigeration if you prefer not to have chunks.
4-Mix in some muddled basil when making a glass.
