Sparkling Fresh Honey Homemade Limeade

When life gives you lots of limes, turn them into this pleasantly tangy and sweet limeade. The old saying, huh... But I literally mean it. And, I am sure you will love this lime drink.

Let me tell you a little about this honey limeade. This is something we prepare almost daily in our home these days. It is Tushar's post-workout drink to cool down and get some energy.  Since he started his exercise, he has been making this fresh limeade for himself and me almost every day. I really love it, so I decided why not share it with you guys.

There is one other thing I want to share with you about limes and lemons. I never knew the real difference between them until a few years back.

In India, we don't get such big-sized lemons and limes. Only the smaller versions are available in the market that is green and/or yellow in color. I think upon ripening green turns into yellow, but they taste pretty much the same. But, here in the US, I see the difference in taste between the two. I can now definitely say that those were limes that we used to have when we were growing up. Hahaha!! new discoveries after leaving my birth country.

I am pretty sure even today in India; lime has a dual personality. When I visit my mom she gets confused when I say limes :P.

This freshly prepared homemade limeade is good for your health because of its healthy ingredients, such as lime and honey.

• Lime is rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber. Lime is beneficial for weight loss, improving skin tone and digestion.(1) 
• Honey is a natural sweetener better than crystalline sugar (2). In addition, honey has some antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
