Equipment

  • 1 Sharp paring knife
  • 1 cutting board

Materials

  • 1 lime

Instructions

For a lime wedge

  • Begin by cutting your lime in half, either lengthwise or through the middle.
  • If cutting the lime lengthwise, you may choose to remove the center line of white pith. Do this by pressing your knife into the lime on either side of the pith and then carefully sliding it out.
  • Next, cut each lime half in half, and then repeat this process once more.

For a lime wheel

  • Cut your lime in half through the middle, between the top and the bottom.
  • Carefully cut thin slices from each circular half.
