LIMEADE
Thanks to an abundance of limes in Jamaica, limeade is a common drink. Unsweetened bottled lime juice can be swapped instead of fresh for an even quicker limeade. From the book "Lucinda's Authentic Jamaican Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

Steps:
- Place half of the watermelon cubes in a blender and process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl; discard the solids. Repeat with the remaining watermelon cubes. You should end up with about 1 quart of watermelon juice.
- Add the lime juice and sugar to the watermelon juice, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Taste, and add more sugar if necessary. Transfer the limeade to a nonreactive pitcher and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Serve over ice in tumblers, with lime slices for garnish.
Tips:
- Select ripe limes: Choose limes that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid limes with blemishes or soft spots.
- Use a citrus juicer: A citrus juicer will help you extract the most juice from your limes. If you don't have a citrus juicer, you can also use a fork to squeeze the juice out of the limes.
- Add sugar or honey to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add to your limeade will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Chill before serving: Limeade is best served chilled. You can chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, or you can add ice cubes to each glass.
- Garnish with lime slices: Lime slices add a refreshing and festive touch to limeade. You can also garnish with mint leaves or cucumber slices.
Conclusion:
Limeade is a refreshing and delicious drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a glass of limeade that is both healthy and delicious. So next time you are looking for a refreshing drink, give limeade a try!
