SWEET OR SALTY LEMONADE
Sweetened, this is a classic all-American beverage for a hot summer's day. But add salt and it becomes a savory treat, much like the limeades served in the Middle East, India or Thailand. With or without salt, this recipe delivers. The proportions of water to juice, sugar and salt are completely a matter of taste, so adjust the recipe as you like. It works equally well with limes as it does with lemons.

LIME-SUGAR DIPPING SALT
A simple combination of sugar, salt and grated lime zest, this innovative sweet and savory citrus mix is excellent sprinkled on pork chops, chicken or salmon before roasting, or used as a seasoning for raw vegetables or corn on the cob. It's also wonderful tossed with a little chile powder for added heat. To serve, place in a bowl or ramekin and serve with a demitasse or other small spoon for sprinkling. Or arrange vegetables on a platter and sprinkle with lime salt before serving.

SALTY LIMEADE
Limeade is popular throughout Asia and often served salty. It will take some experimentation on your part to determine whether you like it really salty-in which case you should reduce the sugar substantially-or sweet, like lemonade. You might be surprised; salty limeade is usually considered more refreshing (and makes a good substitute for sports drinks). You can omit the salt entirely to make standard limeade.

Steps:
- Bring 6 cups water to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the lime pulp and rinds. Cover and steep for 10 minutes, then strain and combine with the lime juice and salt. (You can serve at this point or refrigerate the lime mixture and sugar syrup until you're ready to serve, up to a couple of days.)
- Add sugar syrup to taste and serve over ice.
Tips:
- For a classic salty-sweet limeade, use equal parts lime juice, sugar, and salt. You can adjust the proportions to taste.
- Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Bottled or canned lime juice can be used in a pinch, but it won't taste as good.
- If you don't have lime juice, you can use lemon juice instead. However, the flavor will be slightly different.
- Add a pinch of salt to the limeade before serving. This will help to balance out the sweetness and acidity of the drink.
- Garnish the limeade with a lime wedge or a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.
Conclusion:
Salty-sweet limeade is a refreshing and flavorful drink that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a thirst-quenching drink, give salty-sweet limeade a try. You won't be disappointed!
