Instructions
- Wash the limes thoroughly, then cut them in half and squeeze them to get about 150 ml of juice.
- Pour the juice into a jug with the sugar and stir vigorously until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Add the cold water and mix well. Taste and adjust the balance: more sugar if it's too sharp, more juice if it's too sweet.
- Divide the ice cubes between four glasses, pour the drink over them and serve straight away, optionally garnished with a mint leaf.
Variations and tips
Concentrated version. For a stronger drink, reduce the water to 500 ml and serve with sparkling water.
