Ingredients
- 1 gallon water
- ½ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup lime juice
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon sodium citrate (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon potassium chloride (NoSalt/Nu-Salt/Morton substitute)
Instructions
- Heat 2–3 cups of water (hot, not boiling) and dissolve the dry ingredients.
- Cool the mixture or add ice.
- Stir in juices.
- Add remaining water to reach 1 gallon.
- Chill and serve cold.
Notes
- Sodium citrate smooths flavor and reduces salty edge.
- May use baking soda instead at half the amount; gives a slightly alkaline/soft-water feel
- If omitting, more lemonade-like taste; saltiness more noticeable on the first sip
