In a medium pot combine water with lemon and lime rinds. Try to exclude as much of the white pith as you can as it will make your soda bitter.
Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, strain out the rinds, add sugar and the juice from the lemons and limes.
Strain mixture and cool completely. (110 F)
