Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 8 cups

Equipment

  • 1 2 quart pitcher or mason jar
  • 1 liquid measuring cup
  • 1 1/3 cup

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 5 - 6 cups cold water
  • 5 - 6 fresh strawberries, hulled
  • Sprite or lemon lime soda (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Combine the lime juice, sugar, salt and warm water in a two quart pitcher or mason jar.
  • Mix to dissolve sugar and salt.
  • Add the strawberries and stir to infuse them into the limeade.
  • Stir in the 5 - 6 cups of cold water.
  • Serve right away, or refrigerate the limeade until ready to serve. (The longer you let the strawberries sit in the limeade, the more strawberry flavor you will have in the limeade).

Notes

  1. To sweeten with honey instead of sugar, simple replace the amount of sugar in the recipe for honey instead.
  2. To make the limeade colder faster (if serving right away), place frozen strawberries in the limeade in addition or as a replacement for fresh strawberries.
