hey lb, try just combining the water and sugar in the sauce pan. then cool that mixture and add it to the lime juice. .
the boiling/heating will cook off some of the aromatics of the lime juice, you may get a more intense, fresher flavor without cooking the lime juice.
it might also be worth trying to zest the limes into the water sugar mixture before heating and strain it out after.
edit: ive never made my own lime juice, just thoughts i had when i read that recipe.
