Homemade Limeade
/Ingredients
6 Medium Limes
cup of sugar
6 cups of water
Additional cup of water for simple syrup
Make Simple Syrup
Add a cup of water to a medium saucepan and then add the sugar. Cook on medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Cool and put aside
Juice the limes by cutting them open and with your hand crushing their insides to produce juice. Juice should be about a cup of lime juice. Add the juice to a pitcher.
In a stockpot, add rinds and six cups of water. Brig the water to a boil and steep for 9-11 minutes
Pour limes and liquid into a strainer which is positioned above a mixing bowl. Combine the liquid from the stockpot, the lime juice and the simple syrup.
Serve over ice, wearing, as always, something sweet.!
My comments: I think some individuals might be interested in adding more sugar to this recipe but I don't mind tart, or sour. I would say if you're feeling thirsty and done, adding tequila might make this beverage a little bit more exciting, and way more satisfying.
