    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe


    Makrut lime leaves (pronounced mah-krut), are aromatic leaves that add a distinctive lime flavor when added to salt mixes, spice blends, stir fries or drinks.

    This limeade has a bright and tangy flavor, refreshing on a hot summers day.

    What is Kaffir Lime?

    The kaffir lime (scientific name: citrus
    hystrix) is part of the citrus family.

    They have a very wrinkly skinned fruit and don't give a lot of juice. Kaffir lime leaves are very aromatic and flavorful. Their zest is less citrusy, but they do have a spicy lime fragrance and a woody note. The juice is sharp, and the zest is a little oilier.

    If You Can't Find A Kaffir Lime?

    Fresh kaffir lime leaves are better; but if you don't have them. Lime zest or other lime substitutes include Persian limes (also known as a Tahiti lime, or a seedless lime). Regular lime leaves do not have same flavor.
