Questions about Limeade
How do you make limeade from fresh limes?
Stir 150 ml fresh lime juice and 100 g sugar into 1 litre of cold water until the sugar dissolves, then chill. Taste it before serving; add a little more water if the limes are especially sharp.
How do you stop homemade limeade tasting bitter?
Squeeze the limes gently and stop when the juice is out: pressing hard can release bitter oils from the peel and pith. Strain the juice to catch seeds and pulp if you want a smoother drink.
Can you make limeade sparkling?
Yes. Mix the lime juice and sugar with a little still water first, then top up with chilled sparkling water just before serving so it keeps its fizz.
How long does homemade limeade keep in the fridge?
Keep it in a covered jug or bottle and drink it within 2–3 days. Stir or shake before pouring, as the juice can settle.
What goes well with limeade?
Serve it with ice and fresh mint, or add sliced cucumber or ginger for a fragrant twist. Its sharp, sweet flavour also pairs well with spicy food and grilled fish.
Can you use bottled lime juice to make limeade?
Yes, but fresh lime juice usually tastes brighter. If using bottled juice, start with a little less than you would use of fresh juice, then add more until the balance of tartness and sweetness suits you.
Is limeade the same as lemonade?
No: limeade is made with lime juice, while lemonade is made with lemon juice. Both are usually mixed with water and a sweetener, but limeade has a distinct, more floral citrus flavour.
