From Martha Stewart's Everyday Food, Issue 29. This is only a springboard for more interesting versions... Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar (read *note) |
1 cup water |
1 cup fresh lime juice (about 8 limes total) |
ice cube |
1 quart seltzer water (or club soda) |
lime slice, for garnish |
Directions:
1. *NOTE: Whirl the sugar in a mini-chopper or blender until finely ground. Basically, you've just prepared superfine sugar at a fraction of the cost.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat combine the sugar and water. Cook, stirring until sugar is dissolved and liquid is clear. This should take only 2-3 minutes.
3. Transfer liquid to a pitcher and allow to cool.
4. Once cooled, stir in lime juice. Stir well.
5. Fill a large pitcher with ice cubes, pour in the simple syrup and the seltzer water.
6. Stir well and serve!
