Newtown Limeade
"Every Spring, our Newtown Neighborhood has a Garden Walk. Those of us who show our gardens give away plants, and also serve refreshments. I was told that my limeade was the best ever, and would I please share the recipe! I learned the technique from one of the wonderful cooks in our church who makes great lemonade. The fizzy water is my idea. I serve this with my Recipe #83963, decorated for Spring."

This is a keeper! We served it along with mexican fajitas. It is fantastic. I thought it may be a little too sweet for me, but it was just right. The carbonated water is a very clever addition! LOVE IT! -
Very refreshing.
