Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh limes
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 6 cups Water (divided)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices Lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Roll each lime on the countertop with gentle pressure to loosen the juices before slicing.
Cut the limes in half and juice them using a juicer or reamer, collecting the juice in a bowl. This should yield approximately 1 cup of lime juice. Strain out any pulp or seeds if desired.
In a medium-sized pitcher, combine the fresh lime juice and granulated sugar.
Add 2 cups of water to the pitcher and stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour in the remaining 4 cups of water and mix well. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more sugar or lime juice, if needed.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the limeade over the ice.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lime slices, if desired, for an extra touch of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Newtown Limeade!
