Lime cordial

Take 2 cups of fresh lime juice and boil it down until reduced to 1 cup. Add 1 cup of sugar, stir to dissolve. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Keeps for months (though if you took the pain to make it, invite some friends over and drink it!). Can work with any amount of lime juice by reducing by half and making a simple syrup with the reduced lime juice and sugar.
