Ingredients

  • 2 limes
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ice

Instructions

  • Cut both limes in half. Squeeze them into the container then drop the juiced lime pieces into the bottom of the container.
  • Add the sugar, a cup of the water, and a couple pieces of ice.
  • Secure the lid on top of the container and shake until everything is mixed well.
  • Add the rest of the water and give a slight stir. Top with more ice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Store extra limeade in a sealed container, in the fridge, without the lime chunks, for up to 3 days. Freeze in the same way, for up to 3 months. 
  • You can adjust the sugar amount to suit your preferences. Sugar replacement works as well, but you’ll need to test those amounts based on the brand and type you’re using.
  • You can stir instead of shake if you prefer, but it's more fun to shake! 😉
