LIMEADE

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).

5 to 7 medium limes, plus slices for garnish
1/2 cup sugar or honey, plus more if needed
