Cherry Lime aid!!



I got a great bunch of limes at the veggie market on Sunday we squeezed them all up and made some delicious cherry lime aid. It's easy to do all you need is...

Lime juice (fresh squeezed is best)

maraschino cherries.

filtered water

ice cubes

decorate with some lovely tiny umbrella picks.

First you squeeze the limes. Roll them to make them juicier than cut them in half insert a fork and twist it all about. Be sure to do this over a strainer to catch the seeds. Then add a generous about of sugar. Add the filtered water. Stir well taste if it's too sour add more water or more sugar till it taste right. Then pour some of the cherry juice into the glass it will sink to the bottom giving it a cool bi color or you can stir to make it all pink. Add ice. Stab a couple of cherries with a fancy pic and decorate. I'm told gin could be added to make it more fun.

This is truly a taste of summer so refreshing and good!
