  • About

There are simply no lemons in Brazil, so it is the lime that is the dominant citrus flavor in the food.

Ingredients

  • 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons superfine sugar, or to taste
  • Cracked ice cubes

Method

Slice the lime in half starting at the stem end. With a sharp paring knife, remove the inner pith core of each half. Slice each half into 3 or 4 pieces. Place the pieces in a blender or food processor with the sugar and 4 to 5 cracked ice cubes. Pulse on and off until the lime is reduced to small green specks.

Add 4 more cracked ice cubes and blend or process for 3 seconds.
