Limeade image

The limes we grew in Texas are almost a hybrid lemon-lime and we used them to make "ades." It wasn't until I was much older that I realized other people usually used lemons, not limes. This is the recipe I grew up with, and it works just as perfectly with the limes you can buy at the store as it did with the limes we grew.

Yield makes about 7 1/2 cups; 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

Juice from 8 limes (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup sugar or to taste
Ice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pitcher, place 6 cups of room temperature water along with the lime juice and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Place in the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour. Divide among 4 or 6 glasses and serve over ice.
