Ingredients
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 6 cups water
- 2 tablespoons sugar, or alternative sweetener (or unsweetened)
- Ice
- Optional to garnish: lime slices, mint, basil, or fruit such as strawberries, raspberries or blueberries
Instructions
- Juice the limes using a citrus juicer or citrus reamer
- Combine the lime juice with water and stir
- Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Taste your limeade and adjust the sugar to taste if you’d like it more or less bitter. To dilute, you can add more water, or to sweeten more, add additional sugar 1 tablespoon at a time
- Refrigerate until serving and serve over ice
Notes
- Roll limes between your palm and the counter to soften them and loosen the juice. This makes them easier to work with and helps you get all of the juice out of the lime
- Sugar can be replaced by honey, date Syrup, erythritol, stevia, or your go-to sugar replacement
- Lemons can be used in place of limes with a 1:1 ration
- Herbs such as basil or mint can be muddled and added to your lime juice
- Fruit makes a great festive and flavorful addition. Use raspberries, strawberries or blueberries
- Store in the refrigerator and stir before serving
