Ingredients
- 6 limes about ½ cup lime juice
- 4 cups water
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar optional
Instructions

- After limes have been juiced, pour cold water into pitcher. Stir in lime juice and stir to combine.
- Taste juice and add granulated sugar if desired.
- Finally, pour into cups with ice and garnish with sliced limes if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- ½ cup of lime juice. It might be more than ½ cup so adjust water accordingly.
- Each serving is approximately 1 cup of limeade.
- Roll limes between hands to loosen them up. This makes them much easier to juice.
- If you don't have a juicer, squeeze out juice with hands.
- The 6 limes produce approximately ½ cup of lime juice. It might be more than ½ cup so adjust water accordingly.
- Bottled lime juice can be used in place of limes but might not taste as fresh.
- This limeade is tart and sour without the granulated sugar. Taste and add more sugar for a sweeter taste or more water for a more subtle taste.
- Store limeade in fridge for up to 5 days. Stir before drinking.
