I use limes quite a lot
in my cooking. Most Thai and Vietnamese salad dressings and sometimes marinades
call for lime juice. In Thailand you can buy limes all year round at a
reasonable price. In New Zealand, although
we have a lime tree at home but it produces fruits for a few months and not
into late spring and summer. Limes are still available in supermarkets and
green grocers' of course but they are quite pricey so we normally have to make
do with lemons.
One of our favourite
drinks in Thailand is lime drink called Nam Ma-nao. You just mix the juice of
about 2 limes with thin syrup, a bit of salt and a lot of ice. You can use
thicker syrup and soda for lime soda.
This is how I make mine:
Juice of 2 limes /lemons
¼ cup water and 3 teaspoons
of sugar – make into syrup in microwave and leave to cool
½ cup soda
Lots of ice
Mix everything together
and enjoy!
