Lemonada

I have never had such a refreshing lemonade until I arrived in the DR. Since what we call limes are limones (lemons) here, the Dominican drink limonada is more of a limeade. As the summer months are arriving for you in the States, make note of this refreshing drink if you don't already make it.

Ana showed me the best way to get all of the juice out of a limon. First slightly cut off both ends. Second cut the lemon/lime in half and then put one half in a citrus press.

Squeeze the juice through a strainer to catch excess pulp and seeds. We use around 8 limones for around 3 liters and add 1 1/2 to 2 cups of sugar.
