How to Make Thai Limeade

Strain the leaves and lemongrass pieces from the liquid. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Packed with lively citrus flavor, this drink puts a fun twist on traditional limeade by blending sweet and sour. It captures the essence of Thai cuisine of this popular drink often served at Thai restaurants. If a French Press isn’t available for making Thai limeade, cheesecloth or tea sock is a great alternative for straining. After simmering your ingredients, pour the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer. This fine material effectively filters out lime leaves and lemongrass.
