In Colombia, the notion of a lemon does not exist. I mean, well, it sort of does but it's really a lime instead. And I had a craving for lemonade! So I took my cousins down to the supermarket around the bend and bought the biggest bag o' limes I could find! I had an idea and I was determined to see it through. They had no idea what what in store for them he he he....
So take a guess how many limes I decided to juice right there and then? yep, the whole bag. There were easily about 20 + limes in there (it was a big bag) and I managed to fill a pitcher will all of their juices. Nope, no water. Not a single drop. Oh, and no sugar either. Just pure 100% limey goodness. After all, what goes better to wash down that heavy lunch you just had but some "let me watch you as you choke and scream as your esophagus closes up" lime juice goodness. You should have seen my Aunt's face as she was the first victim to drink my concoction. Classic.
Needless to say I learned my lesson right there and then that that's not how you make limeade or any type of juice for that matter. It was only several years later that I actually realized that there is a reason why most commercial juices only have 10% juice.
Limeade anyone?
