Ingredients
- 2-3 limes
- 1½ cups water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ice
Instructions
- Cut the limes in half and squeeze them into the container then. Drop the juiced lime pieces into the bottom of the container.
- Add the sugar, ½ cup of the water, and a couple pieces of ice.
- Secure the lid on top of the container and shake until everything is mixed well.
- Add the rest of the water and give a slight stir. Top with more ice.
- Use a hole punch or straw punch to make a hole in the container lid if you’re wanting to use a straw. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store in a sealed container, in the fridge, without the lime chunks, for up to 3 days. Freeze in the same way, for up to 3 months.
- You can prepare this in whatever container you choose, it doesn’t have to be what they use at the fair.
- If it’s going to be a bit before you’re drinking the limeade, remove the lime pieces out of the drink or it will turn the drink bitter.
- You can stir instead of shake, if that’s what you prefer. It still turns out perfect.
- You can adjust the sugar amount to suit your preferences.
