Peel the zest from the lemons and limes. The zest must be peeled off without the white part, otherwise the drink will be bitter. Finely chop the peeled zest and cover with alcohol. Put a pack of vanillin in there. Place the jar in a dark, cool place for 2 weeks. Shake the container daily.

Strain the alcohol infused with the zest. Now pour it into the syrup and stir well.
