• Using a microwave or over the stove top, heat 2 cups water until near boiling.

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.

EASY HOMEMADE LIMEADE

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat and bring just to a simmer stirring frequently to dissolve sugar. Once sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and let cool. (I pop it in the freezer to cool quickly.) You will need 1 cup of simple syrup for this recipe.
• Combine the lime juice, simple syrup, lime zest and cold water in a large pitcher. Stir to combine.
• Taste and add additional simple syrup if not sweet enough or more lime juice if too sweet.
• Just before serving, stir in the ice cubes and the sliced lime or lime wedges. Pour into glasses and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge or slice if desired.

Steps:

• Remove the zest from 1 of the limes with a vegetable peeler. Into a bowl squeeze all of the juice and the pulp from the limes. In a large heatproof pitcher dissolve the sugar in 1/4 cup boiling water, add the lime zest and the lime juice and pulp, and stir in 5 cups boiling water. Let the limeade cool and chill it for 2 hours. Strain the limeade into tall glasses filled with ice cubes.
