Limeade

This is refreshing on a hot summer afternoon.

Grated zest of one lime (about 1 Tbsp)
3/4 C 1 Cup granulated sugar
3 C water
1 C lime juice with pulp(4-6 limes)
1 lime, halved and sliced thin for garnish

In a small saucepan, bring to a boil the sugar, lime zest and one cup of water. Boil for one minute or until sugar is dissolved. Strain zest and pour over 12-15 ice cubes in a 1 quart pitcher. Add the lime juice, sliced lime and 2 cups of water. If too sweet, you can add a little more lime juice.

Makes about 1 quart.
