Soda Chanh-Lime Lemonade from Lêlê Recipe #350433
LêLê is our neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant. We eat there on the average of once a week and always enjoy the food. The restaurant is operated by the entire Lê family. One of my favorite drinks there is this lime lemonade, so here is the recipe, taken from their recently published cookbook, "LêLês gadekøkken", It was created by the father of the family.
