📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 8 limes), ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. raw light agave nectar, and 10 makrut lime leaves, heavily bruised to release flavor, in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat to low. Simmer until the mixture becomes syrupy enough to coat the back of a spoon, about ⏱️ 35 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out all the leaves and any scum that may have risen to the surface. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and store in a food-safe container. Fill a labeled squeeze bottle for easiest use. Keep refrigerated. Do ahead: Lime cordial will keep for 7 days refrigerated.
