lime water
Slaked calcium drink
Lime water is water that contains dissolved calcium hydroxide, making it slightly alkaline.
It has been used historically as a folk remedy and in cooking—particularly in Latin American cuisine, where soaking corn in lime water (nixtamalization) softens the kernels and improves nutritional value.
In chemistry, lime water serves as a simple test for carbon dioxide: the gas turns clear lime water milky.
