    What is Sweet Lime

    Sweet Lime is a fruit from the citrus family. It is spherical in shape and greenish yellow or yellowish in color. They are a cross between bitter orange and citron.

    It is widespread in the South Asian Countries surrounding India. It is commonly seen during the summer. Sweet Lime also has a few medical properties.

    Ingredients

    Sweet Lime - Use fresh sweet lime when they are in season.

    Lemon Juice - Adds a nice balance to the juice if added. You can also skip.

    Sugar - Sweet limes are sour at times. Hence to balance sugar goes well. You can also add sugar or honey as you prefer. You can reduce or increase the sugar as you prefer.

    Mint Leaves - This makes the juice refreshing and enhances the flavor.

    You may also add a pinch of salt this enhances the taste of the juice and brings a balance.

    Both Lime or Lemon and Sweet Lime look may look identical. But their properties and features are different. Sweet Lime is less acidic compared to Lime. In some countries, Lime is small whereas Sweet lime has almost the size of oranges but the out skin color is different.

    Sweet Lime has a sweet and slightly bitter taste. However Lemon is sour and not sweet.

    Tips & Variations

    • Serve chilled for best results.It appears almost like an orange in texture. You can juice them the same way how you do for the oranges.
    • Never blend the sweet Lime in the mixie or blender. It gives a bitter taste making the juice unpleasant to drink.
    • Always use a squeezer or juicer to extract the juice and discard the seeds.
    • You can also combine them with other citrus fruits. Oranges and sweet limes go well. You can try many other combinations.
    • I am using sugar in this recipe, but you can very well skip or replace it with honey as you prefer.
    • If the juice is sour you may add more sweetener to balance the taste.
    • Adding lemon juice and a pinch of salt is optional. However, they both elevate the taste of the drink.
    • Easy try a sweet lime juice cocktail for parties and the weekend.

    Serving Suggestions
