Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Limeade on the Grill.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your grill to a medium heat, then lightly oil the grate to ensure your citrus doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a saucepan, pour in the sugar and press the cut sides of halved lemons and limes into it, allowing them to soak up the sweetness.
Step 3
Set the saucepan on the grill, add 2 cups of water, and whisk over the heat until the sugar transforms into a syrup.
Step 4
Once dissolved, let it cool.
Step 5
Next, place the sugared sides of the lemon and lime halves on the grill, cooking them until they develop a beautiful brown color, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Don’t forget to add the lemon and lime slices to the grill as well, cooking them for 30 to 60 seconds on each side until they’re perfectly charred.
Step 7
Squeeze the juice from the grilled citrus into a large pitcher, then mix in the syrup and the remaining 2 cups of water, adjusting the sweetness by adding 1/2 cup at a time until it’s just right.
Step 8
Finally, pour the refreshing limeade into glasses filled with ice, and for a delightful touch, garnish each glass with a slice of your beautifully grilled citrus.
Step 9
Enjoy this vibrant drink that captures the essence of summer in every sip!.
