Limonada is most often translated as "lemonade," but limes are the best approximation of the Colombian citrus that stars alongside coconut in this barely sweet smoothie

Yield Makes 2 2/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • In a pitcher, stir the lime juice with the sugar and 1 1/2 cups water until the sugar has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Fresh is best, but I think Limonada still tastes good after a couple of days in the refrigerator.

Time 5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 limes or 2 lemons, quartered and any seeds removed
8 cups cold water
1/2 cup sugar
ice cube, as desired

Steps:

  • Place the quartered limes or lemons in the blender with 4 cups of water and sugar.
  • Blend until the limes or lemon is completely pulverized, the mixture should be slightly foamy with a whitish color.
  • Strain the lemonade and add the remaining 4 cups of water.
  • Serve with or without ice based on individual preference.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe lemons: Using ripe lemons will give your lemonade a sweeter, more flavorful taste. Look for lemons that are bright yellow and feel heavy for their size.
  • Use filtered water: Filtered water will help to remove any impurities from your lemonade, resulting in a clearer, more refreshing drink.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your lemonade is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Chill before serving: Lemonade is best served chilled. You can chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight, or you can serve it over ice.
  • Add garnishes: Garnishes such as lemon slices, mint leaves, or berries can add a pop of color and flavor to your lemonade.

Conclusion:

Making homemade lemonade is a simple and refreshing way to enjoy the taste of summer. With just a few ingredients, you can create a delicious and thirst-quenching beverage that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a refreshing drink, give lemonade a try! You won't be disappointed.
