The limes must be very dry, almost charred. If you dry them in the
oven it will look like they are burned, but really they are not.
I don't think it takes too long for the water to turn red... Last
time i did this was ages ago, but i think it takes about 15-20
minutes after it comes to a boil.

: Hi,
:
: I have read about boiling dried lime slices until the water turns
: red. I'm curious though. Can anyone please tell me roughly how long
: you have to boil them before the water turns red? And will it only
: turn red if the slices are really dry or will it also turn red if
: they are partially dry, or even fresh?

: Thanks in advance
