Ingredients
1 ripe lime, thoroughly washed (add a second lime for more zest if desired)

1 can (13.66 ounces) coconut milk (full-fat, unsweetened)
1 cup pure maple syrup
Ice, for serving
Instructions
-
Quarter the lime(s) and place in a blender with 4 cups of water. Blend briefly to break down the lime pieces without over-blending to avoid bitterness.
-
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher to remove pulp and peel bits.
-
Stir in the coconut milk and maple syrup until fully combined.
-
Pour over ice in glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
Add fresh mint leaves during blending for an herbal note.
Substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup for different sweetness.
Use limeade concentrate along with fresh lime juice for intensified flavor.
Blend with frozen lime slices for a slushy texture.
Store leftovers refrigerated up to 2 days; stir well before serving.
