Ingredients
- 8 oz piloncillo pressed cane sugar
- 8 oz cold water
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice about 8 limes, plus an additional lime, sliced for garnish
- 4 cups ice or more if desired
Instructions
- In a large stock pot, bring the piloncillo and water to a simmer over medium heat. Stir frequently to dissolve the sugar. Once dissolved, allow the mixture to simmer for 4 minutes. Remove from the stove and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature (or place in the refrigerator to cool completely).
- Once the guarapo is cold, add the lime juice. Stir to combine.
- Fill a large pitcher with the ice and pour the guarapo mixture over it. Stir to cool dilute the guarapo, then add the lime slices, if desired.
- Pour into individual glasses filled with ice.
Notes
- Guarapo is best enjoyed within 3 days as the mixture may begin to ferment.
- Dilute with more ice based on your tastes.
