Tonight's Love: Maple Limeade

For the past couple days I have been loving to drink a little concoction I like to call Maple Limeade. It began when I saw a bottle of fresh lime juice sitting in the fridge, and then something beautiful happened....



Here's how I did it: 
*the glass I put it in was 16 ounces, but you could cut the recipe in half if you only want 8oz.

-3-4 tablespoons of lime juice (depending on how tart you like it, and you could also use lemon juice)
-2 tablespoons of maple syrup
-15 ounces of water

Just mix everything together and add some ice! Even though you can't taste it too strongly, the maple syrup really compliments the tang of the lime. And it you using all natural syrup, its a great alternative to sugar.

Limes are also know to be great for your hair, skin, teeth and eyes, they help digestion, they're an awesome source of Vitamin C, and their citric acid will even help burn fat, great for anyone out there trying to loose weight. So eat (or in this case, drink) your limes!
