The best and safe ingredient to preserve fresh lime juice at home?
We want to preserve fresh lime juice in bottles for use at home without being spoiled, say, for a month or two.
Answers:
Since you mentioned that it's "fresh" lime juice, you imply that at some point, you had fresh limes. Your best bet would be/would have been to keep the limes intact, and juice them as needed.
Since you're apparently dealing with juice: if you store it in a non-reactive container (glass, ceramic or plastic), with a tight lid or seal, it should keep in the fridge for a few months, easily. It's highly acidic, and that inhibits bacterial growth.
To store it even longer, just freeze it. A standard ice cube tray holds about one tablespoon per section. Just freeze the lime juice (overnight would be perfect), then put the frozen lime juice cubes into zip-top bags, and store them in the freezer...they'll last for a year or two. Any time you need lime juice for anything, you already know the exact measurement of each cube.
drink it!!!!!!!!!
