Special Precautions and Tips: - Make sure to use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. - If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved. - If you're using molds, make sure to lightly grease them before pouring in the Jell-O mixture. - To unmold the Jell-O, dip the molds briefly into hot water, then invert them onto a plate.
