SALTY LIMEADE
Limeade is popular throughout Asia and often served salty. It will take some experimentation on your part to determine whether you like it really salty-in which case you should reduce the sugar substantially-or sweet, like lemonade. You might be surprised; salty limeade is usually considered more refreshing (and makes a good substitute for sports drinks). You can omit the salt entirely to make standard limeade.
