Trindad & Tobago Lime Juice Recipe

While living in Trinidad & Tobago, one of my favorite refreshing drinks is Lime Juice. Luckily I don't have to wait until I go to Trinidad to enjoy it.

A couple posts ago I mentioned that when we say Lime Juice in Trinidad & Tobago, we are actually referring to a drink and not just the juice extracted from the lime. So...Here's a simple recipe for you with some variations.
                                                  

                             

YOU WILL NEED:

• one large lime
• 2 1/2 tbsp. Sugar In The Raw Natural Cane Turbinado Sugar
• 2 cups water

HOW TO MAKE:

• Cut lime in half
• Squeeze half of lime into a measuring cup,  eliminating any seeds
• Add sugar and stir
• Add water and stir until sugar is completely dissolved

This recipe will make 2 cups of Lime Juice. You can vary the quantities of ingredients to suit your palate. For example, if you want a more tart taste, you can add more lime. If you have more of a sweet tooth like myself, you can add more sugar. My preference is to drink my Lime Juice cold, so I make it in advance and refrigerate it until it is completely chilled. Some people like theirs on the rocks, so just add some ice cubes for this option.

 FOR A LITTLE TWIST HERE ARE SOME VARIATIONS:

• Add a splash of Angostura Aromatic Bitters
• Add a splash of Angostura Grenadine Syrup

• Add all three above
