PRESERVED SALTY LIME SODA - 6 servings
=====
3 Limes
2 Cups Water
1/2 Cup Salt (any salt is fine)
3 oz. Ice Cubes
12oz can of 7UP (for HALF a lime)
- In the saucepan, bring water to a boil and blanch the limes for 10-20 seconds. This will help break down the cell walls so the salt brine can penetrate more easily.
- Remove limes and set on a clean table or plate.
- Leave the limes out in the sun to dry for ~4 hours or until they turn brown in color.
- Using that same pot of water, add salt, bring to a boil, and cool completely.
- Grab your glass jar that has a lid and tightly pack in the limes. Ensure there is enough salt brine --liquid to cover the limes completely, otherwise make more.
- Close the jar and label it with the current date. Ferment for AT LEAST 30 DAYS, the longer the better.
-Store in a cool, dark place where the sun can't get to it.
- Open the lid every few days to release gas build-up.
- After a minimum of 30 days, it's time to taste and enjoy!
- Use clean and dry utensils when taking out the limes to prevent contamination or spoilage with the other limes in the jar.
- Cut half a lime, place it in a tall glass, and smash it a bit with the back of the spoon to release the juices.
- Add in ice and fill the glass with 7UP!

The better method is to cut the lime half into slices and use your pestle to press the juice out. I personally use a cocktail muddler but that is one way to easily juice lime if youre not using a lemon squeezer

[@feedmeimei]

Wow I’ve never seen a lime brown like that before! 😱 cool to see how it transformed

[@makitchen]

Thanks for the short and easy video to follow!

[@makitchen]

glad you enjoyed it!! :D

[@johnbricejr8409]

Would it taste just as good with plan soda water?

[@JumpyMcTwist]

What's the guess on the weight on the salt?? Using volume for salt is not ideal because different salts have different sizes.

[@angelikaskoczylas3129]

Hi , its winter here. How can I dry the limes?

[@colby_247]

Is it taste the same with salted kumquat?

[@makitchen]

similar! lime is a bit more zesty!

[@vivianhoang3825]

I definitely need to try this soon!! 1 month though 😭

[@makitchen]

do it ASAPPPP! lol

[@klnguyen279]

Did you leave the jar in room temp or in the fridge?

[@makitchen]

hi there! room temp, in the shade

[@kaursarbjeet5217]

K ok

[@markchen4311]

The preserved salty lime is for sore throat but the icy cold drink is not, I guess.

[@nickandhelmi]

Kinda feel like sprite now lol

[@makitchen]

haha ooooh sprite would be really good with this too, less sweet more crisp 😀
