Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh limes
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Warm water
- 3 cups Cold water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 pieces Lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Roll the fresh limes gently on a countertop to maximize their juice, then cut them in half and squeeze to extract about 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and warm water, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved to create a simple syrup. This ensures the sugar mixes evenly in the limeade.
Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice into a pitcher. Add the simple syrup, cold water, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Taste the limeade and adjust the sweetness, tartness, or saltiness according to your preference by adding more sugar, lime juice, or salt as needed.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, then pour the limeade over the ice.
Optional: Garnish each glass with a lime slice or wedge for an elegant touch.
Serve immediately for the freshest and most refreshing experience.
