Hello, every birdie. Today, we are making yet another lime recipe. But this time it is not going to be a dessert. It is a drink. And this was the first time that I made a limeade/lemonade. For some reason, I have gone all of my life without making lemonade/limeade.
As I said in the previous recipe, I had a bunch of limes that I wanted to use. And it was fun and a good workout because we don’t have an electric juicer. I had to do it by hand. I have come to like the flavor of limes. However… that doesn’t that I like working with all types of limes. The hardest lime to juice, are key limes because of the fact that they are so small.
We are going to be using a recipe for this limeade. Because why not? The recipe comes from one of my cookbooks called “Good Housekeeping Illustrated book.”
The recipe and the measurements will be in the description down below. Feel free to check it out. The ingredients you will need for this recipe are:
- Sugar
- lemon/lime zest
- Water (both hot and cold)
- Lime/lemon juice (about 8-10 lemons or 10 limes, and SO MANY KEY LIMES)
- Ice cubes
- Optional club soda
The recipe says that you should put your sugar and lemon/lime zest in a container with a lid. However, I did this in a big glass measuring cup and it worked fine. To the sugar, you are going to add very hot water.
I stirred it for a few minutes so that the sugar could be dissolved. Add the lemon/lime juice. And refrigerate.
I did this part a little bit differently. I put the lemon/lime juice in a pitcher full of ice cubes. And filled it up with cold water.
We didn’t really want to just have limeade as a dessert. So my dad suggested that make the limeade into a slushie. And he added green food dye to it. It was a perfect summer treat to cool off at the end of the day.
Everyone loved this drink, which I am so glad about. Because there are some family members who don’t really care much for sour (including my dad and myself.)
I hope that you liked this recipe. Feel free to check it out. See you in the next recipe. Thank you.
