Salted limes = the best Gatorade you'll ever make. 🍋 Three weeks, almost zero work. It's a traditional Vietnamese salted lime — we served it at my restaurant Little Octopus and I'd sneak one before service for a boost. Wait three weeks, then it's half a lime per glass, blended and topped with soda. Full recipe's on my Substack. Link in bio. #saltedlime #preservedlimes #vietnamesefood #fermentation #fermented
