Instructions

Juice the limes and lemons. Freshly squeezed juice yields the best flavor.
In a glass, combine the lime juice, lemon juice, and honey. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
Top with soda water. This adds a refreshing fizz.
Add ice cubes. Serve immediately and enjoy the cool, invigorating taste.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

This citrus drink is very digestive and refreshing.
For an aromatic twist, muddle a few fresh mint leaves or thin slices of ginger in the glass before adding the lemonade to impart extra freshness and subtle spice.
If you prefer a less sweet drink, try swapping part of the honey with jaggery syrup for a more complex, earthy sweetness.
To present the lemonade Burmese-style, serve it with a pinch of black salt and a few basil seeds (sabja), which add a unique texture and enhance the tangy-sweet flavor profile.

Expert Tips

Use high-quality citrus fruit for the best flavor. Freshly squeezed juice is always superior to bottled.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less honey/jaggery.
For a fun variation, try adding other fruits like berries or sliced cucumbers to the pitcher.

Storage Instructions

Make a large batch in advance and store it (without soda water) in the refrigerator.
Add soda water and ice just before serving to maintain maximum fizz and freshness.
