Description
Cool off with this creamy and refreshing Brazilian Lemonade made with sweetened condensed milk, limes, and a touch of sugar. Perfect for a hot summer day!
Ingredients
Limes:
4 limes (washed and quartered)
Cold Water:
4 cups
Sweetened Condensed Milk:
1/2 cup
Granulated Sugar:
1/3 cup
Ice:
for serving
Instructions
- Place the quartered limes, cold water, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk into a blender. Pulse 3–4 times for just a few seconds each time—do not over-blend or the drink will become too bitter from the lime peels.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp and rinds.
- Serve immediately over ice.
Notes
- Brazilian lemonade is best enjoyed fresh, as it can become bitter over time.
- For a creamier version, add an extra tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk.
- Despite its name, this recipe is traditionally made with limes, not lemons.
