Api
This recipe is taken from verbal instructions given by the one and only, Luisa!
Ingredients
-
1 each
Api Mix
bag -
1/2 cup
Sugar
approximately, to taste -
2 tbsp
Lime Juice
or more, to taste
Directions
Half fill a large pot of cold water. Put the cinnamon and cloves in the cold water and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, mix all of the Api mix in a large bowl in ice-cold water until Api is dissolved and watery. Make sure it is a very thin texture.
Once the water in the pot boils, add ~1/2 cup very cold water and bring back to a boil.
Slowly pour and mix in the Api water into the pot and bring to a boil, mixing constantly. Add in sugar to taste until sweet.
Once it comes to a boil, boil without mixing for ~6-7 minutes.
Add juice from one lemon little by little, tasting as you go until the lemon brings out the flavor. Add sugar if needed as well.
