Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 whole Limes
- 4 cups Filtered Water
- 0.75 cup Raw Honey
- 2 cups Ice Cubes
- 10 leaves Fresh Mint Leaves
- 8 slices Lime Slices
Instructions
Roll each lime back and forth on a hard surface to soften them and make juicing easier.
Cut the limes in half and juice them into a measuring cup or a bowl using a citrus juicer. You should have roughly 1 cup of fresh lime juice.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice and 4 cups of filtered water.
Add 0.75 cup of raw honey to the lime-water mixture in the pitcher. Stir well until the honey is completely dissolved.
Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the limeade.
Gently crush 10 fresh mint leaves between your palms to release their aroma, and then add them to the pitcher for a refreshing twist.
Let the limeade sit for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Pour the limeade into glasses, garnishing each serving with a lime slice.
Stir the mixture in each glass before serving to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
Enjoy your Paleo Classic Homemade Limeade, a naturally sweetened, refreshing drink perfect for any occasion!
