Kurdish Lemonade

"For best results you will need Omani Lemons which are in fact sun dried limes. In Persian the same name is used for limes and lemons (limoo). Lemon would be called "limoo zard" (yellow lime). So when they translate, they call both limes and lemons "lemon". It is known to Persians that when you say "dried lemons" in English, you really mean "sun dried limes." you can get them at most Middle Eastern/Turkish store."

  1. This is nice not too sweet, refreshing ice tea for a hot day. I would have liked the recipe to specify how long to simmer the dried limes. I used dry mint which I filtered out before drinking in a lesser amount but will try this again with fresh mint insha Allah. Served with additional spring water and ice.
