Does anyone else LOVE fresh lemonade or even better fresh limeade. A tall cool refreshing balance of sour and sweet. There is precious little my husband I like better than this. A few years ago Chris and I came across a fellow making fresh limeade and it was perfect! A casual conversation with him and he gave up some of his secrets. So I share them now with you.
What you need
4 cups sugar
4 cups water
lemons or limes
ice
sparkling water
1. So to start you need to make a sugar water solution. What I do is I heat about 1 cup water to 1 cup of sugar and make a little over a quart of sugar water. Heat the water till boiling then pour in the sugar and stir till it is dissolved.
2. Fetch a glass of ice
3. Juice the lime/lemon and leave 1/2 of the juiced citris fruit in the glass with the ice
4. Add the sugar water until about 1/4 of the way up the cup
5. Add the sparkling water
6. transfer back and forth a few times to a different cup or if in a sealed container shake vigorously.
7. Enjoy! Really it is best enjoyed with straw.
