Papelon con Limon

I’m a huge fan of homemade lemonade and limeade. This recipe is probably the best sugary citrus drink that I’ve ever had. Papelon con limon is a popular and refreshing drink in Venezuela. There are only 3 ingredients needed to make: water, lime juice, and piloncillo. Piloncillo is unrefined sugarcane that is sold in 8 oz cones. You can find piloncillo at just about every grocery store in the Latin section, sometimes labeled as panela.
