    Guyana Lime Wash is basically a lime-ade with a touch of vanilla.  It is a refreshing drink that is loved in Guyana.  A perfect way to quench your thirst on a hot tropical summer day. This recipe makes about 8 cups or a pitcher full  you can easily adjust amounts to your taste.  We enjoyed it as part of our Guyanese meal.

      It's not real Guyanese limewash if turbinado/demerara sugar is not used. This gives it the real color and flavor. Limewash with white sugar is just limeaid.

        Thank you for kindly for your comment. I didn't find a recipe with turbinado/demerara sugar. I would like to make it again with a corrected recipe. Do you have one? Are you from Guyana? Thanks again!
