  • 50 ml Cachaça (sugar cane brandy)
  • 5 (250 ml content each) Glasses

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash 3 limes thoroughly with hot water and rub dry. Peel the peel thinly (without the white skin) with a peeler or a small sharp knife. Cut the peel into fine strips (approx. 15 g)

    Peel the 3 peeled limes and 10 more in such a way that the white skin is completely removed. Remove the fillets with a sharp knife between the parting skins and place them in a bowl. Squeeze the parting skins well. Place the fillets on a sieve and collect the juice (approx. 125 ml juice and 380 g fillets)

  3. 3

    Squeeze 7 limes (210-230 ml juice) and pour together with the collected juice (125 ml). Add lime zest, bring to the boil and simmer for about 1 minute. Let juice and peel cool down. Wash the mint, shake dry and pluck the leaves from the stalks. Cut the leaves into fine strips

  4. 4

    Mix lime fillets, cooled lime juice and jam sugar well in a large pot. Bring to the boil while stirring, add cachaça and mint. Cook over high heat for 4 minutes while stirring

  5. 5
