Sparkling Lime (Or Lemon) Beverage
"I find this beverage extermely refreshing, and I will drink it, or its lemon variant, around the order of once or twice a day. It provides a perky hint of flavor without making the beverage so tart one is driven to add sugar or sugar substitutes -- and it's simple and quick. And unlike commercially-flavored seltzer waters, it tastes real."

Can't get more simple than this, whether it's toning down a sugary lemonade or jazzing up a glass of water! Tasty & refreshing, especially during the warm summer months! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend recipe tag] -
Nice, bubbly, refreshing bevy for a hot, summer day. I used limes (but I will try this again with a lemon and I think again with an orange). Thanks for sharing! Made for Veg*n Swap August 2010. -
Refreshing? Yes! But I tend to like my drinks on the sweet side, so I added a splash of sweet and sour mix the second time around to spruce it up! I made mine with lime. -
Such a good drink! I used a little extra lemon juice, because I didn't think there was a strong lemon taste to it! I also added some lemon slices to the mix. -
I made the lemon version, and this was very refreshing after a day spent working in the yard! Thanks for sharing!

I joined this site back in 2007 when it was Recipezaar. I cook 90% of my own food from scratch, and have lost 40 pounds so doing. I buy most of my summertime/fall veggies from farmers' markets, don't eat much gluten or grains -- but if I am dining with friends, I do eat what I am served, except for tree nuts, commercial baked goods from supermarkets or chains (I react badly to these), and I tend to avoid sweets. Yes, you can train yourself to appreciate sweets far less! I grow some of my own food, but this is limited due to lack of full sun. I also enjoy seafood (brain food!), eggs, and some pastured meats. I'm getting more into fermented foods. Sensitivities: All the tree nuts I actually LIKE. Sigh. Fiddlehead ferns. Liquid egg product. Most commercially baked pastries and donuts and cakes.
