SWEET OR SALTY LEMONADE



Sweet or Salty Lemonade image

Sweetened, this is a classic all-American beverage for a hot summer's day. But add salt and it becomes a savory treat, much like the limeades served in the Middle East, India or Thailand. With or without salt, this recipe delivers. The proportions of water to juice, sugar and salt are completely a matter of taste, so adjust the recipe as you like. It works equally well with limes as it does with lemons.

Although this drink is made with limes, we still call it "lemonade." We make this at home all of the time and guests always compliment the flavor. This is made in households in India.
