Home-made Calamansi Juice

This morning I used the slow juicer to juice out the kilo of calamansi I bought yesterday from Holland Road market and hawker center.  I boiled water with some rock sugar.  Then add the calamansi juice.  The result is a solidly sour, bitter concoction that needed to be diluted.  It is not sweet as I did not add enough sugar.  In short, I have a lime juice concentrate.  It is quite easy and low cost.  The kilo of "lime" costs only $1.50.  I have enough to make at least 30 cups of lime juice drink typically sold in the coffee shop.  The lime juice cost $1.30 to $1.50 a cup in the coffeeshops and hawker center.  The profit margin of the home-made drink is high.
