Jalapeño adds a subtle kick, and cilantro brings grassy, herbal notes to classic limeade. Adults might like to stir in a little tequila. Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups water |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 cup agave nectar |
1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro |
2 large jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped (about 1/2 cup) |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
9 lime wedges, divided |
1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice (about 10 limes) |
4 cups ice |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro and jalapeño. Let stand 30 minutes. Pour jalapeño mixture into a large bowl; cover and chill at least 3 hours.
2. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and salt in a shallow dish. Rub rims of 8 glasses with 1 lime wedge. Dip the rims of glasses in sugar mixture.
3. Strain cilantro mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl, discarding solids. Stir in lime juice. Fill each prepared glass with 1/2 cup ice. Add 3/4 cup limeade to each glass. Garnish with remaining 8 lime wedges.
