Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or more to taste)
- 2 cups cold water
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Ice for serving
- Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Lemon Juice and Sugar: In a large pitcher, whisk together freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. This ensures the lemonade is evenly sweetened.
- Add Water and Condensed Milk: Stir in the cold water and sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The condensed milk adds a rich texture and sweetness.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or condensed milk according to your preference.
- Chill or Serve: Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavors or serve immediately over ice for a refreshing drink.
- Garnish: Optionally, garnish with lemon slices for a decorative and flavorful touch.
Notes
- For an extra-smooth texture, strain the lemon juice before mixing to remove pulp and seeds.
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk depending on your preferred creaminess and sweetness level.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to serve a larger group.
