Traditional Recipe For Bajan Limeade

There is nothing quiet like going into our garden and picking some limes straight off our lime tree and making some Bajan limeade.

It really is so simple to make limeade, that even a wee child could do it.It took me about 15 minutes to make my big jug of delicious limeade, there is no rush here in the Caribbean.

This traditional recipe tasted real fine and tastes so much better than Pepsi or Coca Cola. I also found that it quenches your thirst much better than any fizzy drink ever will.
