Ingredients

• 8 pieces Fresh limes
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 6 cups Water (divided)
• 2 cups Ice cubes
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 4 slices Lime slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Roll each lime on the countertop with gentle pressure to loosen the juices before slicing.

Step 2

Cut the limes in half and juice them using a juicer or reamer, collecting the juice in a bowl. This should yield approximately 1 cup of lime juice. Strain out any pulp or seeds if desired.

In a medium-sized pitcher, combine the fresh lime juice and granulated sugar.

Step 4

Add 2 cups of water to the pitcher and stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 5

Pour in the remaining 4 cups of water and mix well. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more sugar or lime juice, if needed.

Step 6

To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the limeade over the ice.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lime slices, if desired, for an extra touch of freshness.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Newtown Limeade!
