Frequently Asked Questons (FAQ's)

What Are The Benefits of Lime Water?

Since this isn't a health site, I'll go with the known items about limes. They are a terrific source of vitamins and minerals and besides that, they taste GREAT!

How Do I Know If Limes are Fresh?

Look at the limes, is the skin discolored, yellow or does it have brown spots? If so, move along. The skin should be fat, plump and bright green.

Do I Wash the Limes Before Putting Them In The Water?

You will want to give your limes a good rinse with fresh water before using. Remove any stickers first and scrub off the sticky residue.

Can I Eat the Limes Slices Out of the Lime Infused Water?

Definitely! But, they are a little puckery usually!

How Long Can The Limes Stay In The Water?

Remove the limes after 4 hours. The water can be saved for up to 4 days if kept refrigerated.

Can I Use a Sparkling Water to Make My Fruit Infused Water?

Absolutely yes! Just understand that you'll want to make smaller quantities because the bubbles leave the water pretty quickly.
