Limeade Nam Manao Recipes

Steps:

• With your hands or a reamer, squeeze the juice from limes to make 1 cup of lime juice. Set juice and lime rings aside.
• Pour water into a 2-quart microwavable glass measuring cup. Microwave, uncovered for 6 to 8 minutes on High until almost boiling. Little bubbles will form on the water surface.
• Add sugar and salt and stir until dissolved. Add lime rinds and let the mixture stand for 10 minutes until cool.
• Squeeze the remaining juice from the rinds into the limeade through a sieve into a pitcher. Add reserved lime juice and stir well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, fill a tall glass with ice and add limeade. Garnish with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the sugar and 2 cups water until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot. Allow to cool, and then place into a large drink dispenser or jug. Add the lemon juice and lime juice and stir. Fill with ice and top with 1 gallon (16 cups) cold water. Add the lemon and lime slices.

Steps:

• Roll the limes back and forth over the counter with the palm of your hand. Cut limes in half, and juice them by hand or with a juicer; reserve rinds. (You should have about 1/2 cup juice.) Transfer juice and rinds to a large pitcher.
• Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add sugar or honey, and stir until dissolved. Pour syrup into the pitcher, and add 4 cups water. Stir until well blended. Add more sugar or honey, if desired. Refrigerate 1 hour. Discard rinds. Serve limeade garnished with lime slices.
