Wikipedia
Limewater
Limewater is the common name for a saturated aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide. Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, is sparsely soluble at room temperature in water (1.5 g/L at 25 °C). "Pure" (i.e. less than or fully saturated) limewater is clear and colorless, with a slight earthy smell and an astringent/bitter taste. It is basic in nature with a pH of 12.4. Limewater may be prepared by mixing calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) with water and removing excess undissolved solute (e.g. by filtration). When excess calcium hydroxide is added (or when environmental conditions are altered, e.g. when its temperature is raised sufficiently), a milky solution results due to the homogeneous suspension of excess calcium hydroxide. This liquid has been known traditionally as milk of lime.

Limewater is a dilute solution of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 in water. It is often used for various experiments in laboratories and it turns milky in the presence of carbon dioxide due to the formation of calcium carbonate. It is also a common ingredient in certain traditional preparation methods of corn in hominy and masa, and in the filtration process of drinking water.
