 From 'man sudoers':

timestamp_timeout  Number of minutes that can elapse before sudo will  
ask for
                    a passwd again.  The default is 15.  Set this to  
0 to
                    always prompt for a password.  If set to a value  
less than
                    0 the user’s timestamp will never expire.  This  
can be used
                    to allow users to create or delete their own  
timestamps via
                    sudo -v and sudo -k respectively.

Using 'visudo', edit /etc/sudoers and add a line:

timestamp_timeout 0
