- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 5 min
- Makes: 1 serving (261 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
Ingredients
- 40 g Limes, raw
- 1 g Salt
- 20 g Sugar
- 200 g Water
Method
- Slit each lime into quarters without cutting all the way through, and pack tightly into a clean jar with the salt.
- Seal and leave at room temperature for 3-4 weeks, until the limes turn soft, dark and pickled through, shaking the jar occasionally; the active work above is quick, but the curing itself needs those extra weeks.
- To serve, muddle one cured lime (skin and all) in a glass with the sugar.
- Warm the water briefly and pour over, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then add ice; top with soda water if you like.
