Description
This Brazilian lemonade recipe is a creamy and tangy beverage made with fresh limes and sweetened condensed milk. It's a refreshing drink that's perfect for summer parties, barbecues, or a cool treat on a hot day.
Ingredients
- 4 fresh limes
- 4 cups cold water
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Wash the limes thoroughly and cut them into quarters.
- Place the lime quarters, cold water, and sugar (if using) in a blender.
- Blend on high for about 15-20 seconds, just enough to break down the limes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
- Serve immediately over ice.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, blend the lime mixture longer before straining.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar or sweetened condensed milk.
- Best served fresh to prevent bitterness from the lime peels.
