Gather the ingredients.
In a small bowl, stir together the citric acid and tartaric acid, if using, into the sugar.
Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the sugar-citric acid mixture.
Stir constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the lime peel and juice, and stir well. Place it back on the stove, reduce the heat to low, and simmer about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat, cover, and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
Pour the mix into a tightly sealed container and refrigerate overnight.
Strain out and discard the lime peels using a fine-mesh strainer.
Pour the cordial into a clean bottle with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for another day before using it. Use it in your favorite drinks and enjoy!
