That's weird. The only time I've had that result is with not-quite-
dried limes, or sometimes with whole dried limes.
I usually slice mine, and dry them on cookie sheets in the oven.
When I boil them, I add enough water that it won't all boil away when
I wander off (which I invariably do). I get really red water almost
100% of the time.
