Step 1

First, peel/zest two lemons. Set the zest aside for later.

Step 2

Slice all the lemons & lime in half and squeeze out the juice.

Step 3

Add sugar, water & lemon peel/zest to a medium-sized pot. Heat on medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes).

Step 4

Turn off the heat. Let the mixture cool down a little (about 5 minutes) and then pour in the fresh lemon juice that you squeezed earlier.

Step 5

Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any bits.

Step 6

Lastly, carefully pour the mixture into an ice-cube tray*. Cover with a lid and place in the freezer for a few hours or overnight.
