Quick & Easy Limeade
Makes 1 quart of Limeade
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Lime Juice
- 1 cup Simple Syrup
- 1/4 tsp Lime Zest Optional
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 Lime (Sliced) Optional, For Garnish
- 2 1/2 cups Cold Water
Instructions
- Add all ingredients together in a quart jar and shake
- Serve over ice with lime slices for garnish
Notes
I actually buy lime juice by the gallon from Amazon, and use lime pieces for additional flavor and garnish. Optionally, a standard lime contains about 2 tablespoons of lime juice, so you would need about 4 limes for 1/2 cup of Lime juice.
