Brazilian Lemonade

🍋 Ingredients:

• 4 fresh limes, quartered

• 4 cups cold water

• ½ cup sugar

• ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk

• Ice, for serving

🧃 Instructions:

1. Wash and Cut the Limes:

• Wash the limes thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax.

• Cut each lime into quarters.

2. Blend:

• In a blender, combine half of the limes, 2 cups of cold water, and ¼ cup sugar.

• Pulse (blend) for only 10–15 seconds. Do not over-blend, as the lime peels can make the drink bitter.

• Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove the pulp and peel.

• Repeat with the remaining limes, 2 more cups of water, and ¼ cup sugar (or adjust sweetness to your taste). Strain again.

3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk:

• Stir in ¼ cup of sweetened condensed milk into the strained liquid. Mix well until fully combined and creamy.

4. Serve:

• Pour the lemonade over a glass full of ice.

• Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness.

✅ Tips:

• This drink is best enjoyed fresh – avoid letting it sit for too long, as the lime peels can cause bitterness over time.

• You can adjust the sweetness or creaminess by adding more or less sugar or condensed milk.
