Lime Zest for Tea

Lump sugar rubbed on limes until the oil cells are broken gives a dainty flavour to a cup of tea. The sugar may be thus prepared and kept in jars till needed, as with lemons and oranges.

PICKLED LIMES (A Dutch Recipe) After the fruit is thoroughly washed place it in picklecrocks covered with brine. Place a weight on top and let stand. After four days they will be ready to use. Take out as needed, only. (Also, see Pickled Lemons.)
