Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Fresh limes | 4 |
| Sweetened condensed milk | ½ cup |
| Sugar | ⅓ cup |
| Cold water | 4 cups |
| Ice cubes (for serving) | As needed |
Directions
Step 1:
Start by washing the limes thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax. Cut them into quarters, leaving the peel on.
Step 2:
Place the quartered limes into a blender along with 4 cups of cold water and ⅓ cup of sugar. Blend on high for 10 to 15 seconds—just enough to extract the lime juice without over-processing.
Step 3:
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher. Discard the pulp and seeds to get a smooth lime juice.
Step 4:
Stir in the ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or condensed milk if desired.
Step 5:
Serve immediately over ice cubes for a refreshing drink. Enjoy your homemade Brazilian Lemonade!
Tips
- Best when fresh: Brazilian Lemonade is best served fresh as it can turn bitter if stored for too long.
- Flavor variation: For a fun twist, try adding coconut milk or fresh mint leaves to your lemonade.
