I LOVE limeade. And, lately, with swearing off sodas altogether (I’ve been on a very rare occasional soda diet for years), I’ve been looking for something exciting to drink when I don’t feel like water. I’ve made a lot of fruit sodas like apple juice and club soda. But when I came across a simple limeade recipe, I knew I had to give it a try. The girls are sure to love it, too. They love fresh fruit juice, even when it’s super tart. Such great, adventurous kids.
Ingredients
