Fresh Limeade

A new favorite-summer of 2013! We got a bunch of limes from a truck that wrecked outside of town and had to figure out what to do with them. Dad got this recipe from Kathleen K, the secretary at the high school and it's a keeper!

2 limes

1 C sugar

1 C water

Ice

Wash and quarter the 2 limes.

Place them in a blender with the 1 C water.

Blend them for 4 seconds. Only 4!!!!

Pour water/lime mix into a strainer, draining the juice into a bowl. Discard lime pulp.

Rinse blender and pour the juice back into the blender.

Add the 1 C sugar.

Add 1 C ice. (We add more-maybe 2 or 2 1/2 C-because we like it slushy!) 

Then add MORE water to make 4 1/2-5 cups total in the blender. (I usually do 5 because I like it a bit diluted)

Blend away until the ice cubes and chunks are no more! Serve with a straw and/or spoon! Enjoy a refreshing sip of summer!

Looks like some happy customers!!
