Ingredients

　　1 cup fresh lime juice

　　1/2 cup sugar

　　1 1/2 cups water

　　In a pitcher, stir the lime juice with the sugar and 1 1/2 cups water until the sugar has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Fresh is best, but I think Limonada still tastes good after a couple of days in the refrigerator.

　　Cooks' Note:

　　Dilute the leftover Limonada with a little sparkling water for a refreshing limeade while you are preparing for your party.
