I had a whole bunch of key limes in the fridge that I needed to get rid of because Gavin and I are leaving to Canada on thursday. I thought about a key lime pie or cheesecake but then i'm stuck with a whole pie or cheesecake, which isn't really a downer but i also want to be able to fit into my clothes so limeade it is.
Here's what you need. 3 cups of cold water, 3/4 cup of sugar or splenda and a bunch of key limes.
First roll the limes between your hand and the counter with pressure. This makes it easier to get all the juice out. Cut them in halves.
Next squeeze all the juice out either with your hands or a juicer(i got mine at walmart and it works really well). Squeeze enough juice to make one cup. Don't worry about seeds because you'll strain the juice as you pour it into a pitcher.
Pour the strained juice into a pitcher of 3 cups of cold water. Next add the sugar and stir. If it's too tart just add some more sugar.
There you have it. Homemade limeade. Mmm!
