Method

  • Step 1 Cut the lemons and limes in half. Juice 6 lemons and 6 limes. Thinly slice the remaining lemons and limes and place in a large heatproof jug.
  • Step 2 Combine the lemon juice, lime juice, water and sugar in a large saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Pour the water mixture over the lemon and lime slices in the jug. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 3 hours to chill and develop the flavours.
  • Step 3 Divide the crushed ice evenly among serving glasses or bottles. Pour over the lemon & limeade and serve immediately.
