Fresh Squeezed Limeade

It’s hot here.  Positively sweltering. 

For a little reprieve from the heat, we have been guzzling down limeade as fast as I can make it.  Nothing fancy about it, no sir, but it will make your taste buds do a little happy dance, guaranteed.

Fresh Squeezed Limeade

Ingredients: juice from 3 limes, 1/2-cup sugar, 2-quarts water, lime slices for garnishing (optional, obviously).

Squeeze your limes, dissolve the sugar in the juice, and add ~2-quarts water.  That’s it!  Fill with lots of ice, garnish with an extra slice of lime, and find some shade.  Tastes good enjoyed in air-conditioning, too.

Also, because I’m crazy for make-your-own popsicles, you can make your own pops or ice cubes from this juice.

Enjoy and stay cool!
