Agua fresca de limon is just another way to say limeade, but you've gotta admit it's got a nice ring to it. Making some simple syrup ahead of time makes it way easier to serve up dozens of these refreshing beverages.

ingredients


LIME DRINK

6 cups cold water
1/2 cup simple syrup
OR
0.33 cup granulated sugar
2 large dark green limes

SIMPLE SYRUP

2 cups water
1 cup granulated sugar

directions

For Lime Drink: In a pitcher combine the water and syrup or sugar, stirring to make sure the sugar is well dissolved. Refrigerate until very cold.

Just before serving, grate the rind of the lime into the pitcher, being careful not to include any of the white part. Serve over ice cubes.

For Simple Syrup: Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until reduced to 1 cup. Let cool to room temperature; store, refrigerated, in a tightly covered container.
