Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh limes
- 1 piece Lemon
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 1.5 liters Cold water
- 12 pieces Ice cubes
- 6 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 2 pieces Sliced lime (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Juice the limes and the lemon into a medium-sized bowl, ensuring you remove the seeds. You should yield about 3/4 cup (180ml) of fresh citrus juice.
Dissolve the granulated sugar in the citrus juice by stirring vigorously with a spoon. Let it rest for a few minutes to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the almond extract to the sweetened citrus juice, stirring to combine. Be careful not to use more almond extract, as it has a strong flavor.
In a large pitcher, combine the citrus mixture with the cold water. Stir well to incorporate and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or water according to taste.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the almond and lime lemonade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf and a slice of lime, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing blend of citrus and almond flavors!
