Recipe Notes
  • Expect to get around 25ml per lime.
  • If you wish to add some fizz to your fresh lime, use sparkling water instead of plain water or you can add a tea spoon of bicarbonate of soda or you may choose to make you juice with soda water instead of water.
  • If you are desperate and really dying for a glass of fresh lime the next best alternative is to buy bottled lime juice from your supermarket. The taste will be far from the real fresh thing generally lacking the true sour or acidic bite of fresh lime juice and tends to contain concentrated lime juice that has preservatives and other bits and pieces added.
