Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fresh limes
• 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Warm water
• 3 cups Cold water
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 2 pieces Lime slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Roll the fresh limes gently on a countertop to maximize their juice, then cut them in half and squeeze to extract about 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and warm water, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved to create a simple syrup. This ensures the sugar mixes evenly in the limeade.

Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice into a pitcher. Add the simple syrup, cold water, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Taste the limeade and adjust the sweetness, tartness, or saltiness according to your preference by adding more sugar, lime juice, or salt as needed.

Step 5

Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, then pour the limeade over the ice.

Step 6

Optional: Garnish each glass with a lime slice or wedge for an elegant touch.

Step 7

Serve immediately for the freshest and most refreshing experience.
