Commentary:

It provides a re-vitalising, rejuvenating, refined and refreshing lift to the spirits. Lime awakens the mind in a safe stimulating manner.

I remember how a friend was desperately trying to source Limes for an imminently arriving house guest.  With it’s powerful and persuasive emotional reward it’s no wonder it is must have ingredient.
