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).

AGUA DE LIMóN CON CHíA (LIMEADE WITH CHIA SEEDS)



Agua de Limón con Chía (Limeade With Chia Seeds) image

This limeade is made using the whole lime, which gives it a slight bitterness, but trust me: it's so good you won't want to make it any other way.

Provided by Fany Gerson

Categories     Summer     Lime     Seed     Spring     Quick & Easy     Drink     Non-Alcoholic

Yield About 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 large limes, quartered
4 cups water
1/2 cup sugar, or more if needed
1/4 cup chia seeds

Steps:

  • Put the limes, water, and sugar in a blender and pulse 3 to 4 times, just enough to extract the juice from the limes but not crush the skins (which would make the drink too bitter). Strain through a fi ne-mesh sieve into a pitcher. Taste and add more sugar if you like.
  • Whisk in the chia seeds and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until completely chilled. Stir before serving, then serve over ice.

WATERMELON LIMEADE



Watermelon Limeade image

Wow! This flavor-packed limeade is a real thirst quencher during the dog days of summer, when watermelon is at its best. Should a festive occasion arise, it also makes a wonderful margarita mixer when paired with premium white tequila.

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     HarperCollins     Drink     Drinks     Non-Alcoholic     Watermelon     Lime Juice     Summer     No-Cook     Quick and Healthy     Quick & Easy

Yield Serves 4-6 (about 5 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 cups cubed watermelon (seeds removed), or 1 quart watermelon juice
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup sugar, or more to taste
Lime slices, for garnish (optional)

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!
