Brazilian Lemonade Recipe

Discover the refreshing taste of Brazilian Lemonade with this simple recipe. Blending fresh limes with sweetened condensed milk creates a creamy and tangy drink that's perfect for cooling down on a hot day. Ready in just minutes, this lemonade is a delightful twist on a classic summer favorite.

Ingredients:

• 4 juicy limes (thin-skinned and preferably seedless)

• 4 cups cold water

• 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)

• 6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

• Ice cubes

  
  

Instructions:

1. 1. Prepare the Limes:

   • Wash the limes thoroughly to remove any wax or dirt. Cut off the ends and then cut the limes into quarters.

2. 2. Blend the Limes:

   • In a blender, combine the quartered limes with 2 cups of cold water. Blend for just a few seconds. You don't want to blend it too long, as it can make the lemonade bitter. Just pulse a few times to break down the limes.

3. 3. Strain the Mixture:

   • Pour the lime mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.

4. 4. Add Sugar and Condensed Milk:

   • Add the remaining 2 cups of cold water, the sugar, and the sweetened condensed milk to the strained lime juice. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

5. 5. Serve:

   • Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the Brazilian lemonade over the ice. Serve immediately.

Notes:

• The sweetness can be adjusted according to your taste by adding more or less sugar or sweetened condensed milk.

• This lemonade is best served fresh because the lime pulp can start to turn bitter if it sits for too long.

Enjoy your refreshing Brazilian lemonade!
