I use 3 cut up limes that I boil with a few whole cloves and 1-2 good size Ocras to about 2 cups of water and let that all boil down to a very soupy mix that has the color of bad looking orange-juice. About 1/4 of the water will have simmered away when I strain the whole thing through very fine mesh. Then I add about 2 tablespoons of sugar and some more cloves to it and simmer again until another 1/4 has dissappeared. Let it sit overnight and strain before using it. I safe the unused portion in a dark bottle i the fridge for the next time and try to use it up as soon as possible. Before I use it I heat it up and shake it well. I try to make the smoothest paste out of it and then work with it. When drawing lines they easily stretch into very fine lines. I love this stuff.
Hope that helped.
