Make some limonade! That’s right; I said limonade; no misspellings or typos there. I am talking about a perfectly tart and sweet treat that will quench any summertime thirst. The lime makes it a little different from the traditional plain lemonade but it is refreshing and lip smacking good. Now go try this recipe before the temperature get above 200 degrees!
Summertime Limonade
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup water (for the simple syrup)
½ cup lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
½ cup lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
3 to 4 cups cold water (to dilute)
1. To make simple syrup, simmer sugar and water in a small pot until sugar is completely dissolved. Then chill in refrigerator.
2. In the meantime, use a juicer to extract the lemon and lime juice from the lemons and limes, just enough for ½ cup each.
3. Add the lemon and lime juice, simple syrup and cold water into a large pitcher. Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes and then adjust the sweetness by adding additional sugar or tartness by adding additional lemon and lime juice as needed.
4. Serve with ice, lemon and lime slices.
Looks good:)! Worth trying...
