Serving: Makes enough syrup for 6 beverages

Use this syrup in cocktails wherever ‘simple syrup’ is required. You can also make your own apple and lime pop by mixing this with chilled club soda.

Place the sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.
Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves, about 6 minutes, and then remove from the heat and pour in the lime juice.
Stir to combine and then transfer the lime syrup to a 1-quart container and allow to completely cool.
Place the apple slices into the lime syrup and stir to combine. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours so flavors can blend.
Strain the mixture to remove the apple slices.
