This creamy, citrusy Brazilian Lemonade is a refreshing twist on traditional limeade, made with whole limes, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and ice.

Equipment
- Blender
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Large bowl or pitcher
- Serving glasses
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- ice cubes
- 2 limes
- 3 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup sugar
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the limes to remove any wax or residue.
- Cut off the ends of each lime, then slice them into eight wedges.
- Place the lime wedges into a blender along with cold water, granulated sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and ice.
- Pulse the mixture about five times, just enough to blend the ingredients without making the drink bitter.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible while discarding the solids.
- Pour into serving glasses over fresh ice and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use small, thin-skinned limes for better flavor and less bitterness.
- Avoid over-blending to prevent the lime rinds from turning the drink bitter.
- Adjust the sweetness by tasting after blending and adding more sugar or condensed milk if needed.
