School is all about learning. And if you learn to made a few limeades on a hot spring day, all the better!
That's what Mrs. Jameson's kindergarten class at Myers Elementary School did last week, and they had a great time making them.
If anyone is looking for a decent recipe for the drink, here's one via "Simply Recipes."
INGREDIENTS
•
Grated zest of one lime
(about 1 Tbsp)
•
1 cup lime juice (from
about 4-6 Persian limes)
•
3/4 cup to 1 cup
granulated sugar
•
3 cups water
•
Several sprigs of fresh
mint
METHOD
1 In a small saucepan bring to a boil the sugar, one cup of water, and
the lime zest. Once the sugar is dissolved (which it should be by the time the
water boils), remove from heat and let cool for for a few minutes. The amount
of sugar is a guideline, it depends on how sweet you like your limeade and how
tart your particular limes are.
2 Place a strainer over a bowl, or wide-mouthed serving container, and
pour the sugar syrup through it, straining out the lime zest. Add the lime
juice and 2 cups of water. Taste for sour/sweet balance. If too sweet, add a
little more lime juice. Add several sprigs of fresh mint.
Chill, or serve immediately
over ice.
Yield: Makes about 1 quart.
Anyone for lemonade next?
