Thai Lime Soda
Salty-sweet combinations in drinks are relished in Thailand, hence the optional inclusion of salt. To Westerners, this may be an acquired taste.
Sugar Syrup:
1 cup granulated white sugar
1 cup water
Drink:
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup sugar syrup, or to taste
pinch salt (optional)
ice
about 1/2 cup soda water
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine sugar and water, stirring just until sugar dissolves. Once the sugar dissolves, stop stirring, increase heat, and bring the water to a boil. Continue boiling for 3 minutes without stirring. Do no let the syrup crystallize. Brush the pan side with a brush dipped in cold water. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Pour into a jar, cover, and refrigerate indefinitely.
In a small jug, combine lime juice, sugar syrup to taste, and salt if using. Stir to blend. Pour into a glass packed with ice. Add soda water to top off, plus additional sugar syrup if you like.
