Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh limes
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Cold water
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the limes thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue.
Cut the limes into quarters. Do not peel them.
In a blender, combine the lime quarters, granulated sugar, and cold water.
Pulse the blender 5–7 times. Avoid over-blending to prevent the drink from becoming overly bitter.
Strain the blended mixture into a large bowl or pitcher through a fine-mesh sieve. Use a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible and discard the solids.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the strained liquid and stir until fully combined.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Brazilian lemonade over the ice.
Stir once more before serving to ensure the drink remains well mixed.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
