While fall is quickly approaching (and it seems that happens more quickly each year!), there are still a few steamy days left on this year's calendar, no matter where in the US you reside.
If you need to cool down, and are looking for a terrific, refreshing beverage, this might be the solution! Given to me by a friend, this limeade is tangy and fragrant.
Trade-It-Out Limeade In a heavy saucepan, stir together:
1 cup water
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to prevent boil-over. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let cool, strain into a pitcher.
To the cooled syrup, add:
1 1/2 cups lime juice (freshly squeezed is best!)
2 cups water
Stir and chill. Serve over ice for a refreshing treat.
