Brazilian Lemonade

Ingredients

• 4 fresh limes, washed thoroughly
• 4 cups cold water
• ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• 3 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
• Ice cubes

Instructions

1. Cut the limes into quarters and remove the white center if very thick.
2. Add limes, water, and sugar to a blender.
3. Blend briefly for about 10–15 seconds only (overblending can make it bitter).
4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
5. Return the liquid to the blender and add condensed milk plus ice.
6. Blend again for a few seconds until frothy.
7. Serve immediately while cold.

Serving Suggestions

Tips

• Use fresh juicy limes for the best flavor.
• Drink immediately after preparation to avoid bitterness.
• For a lighter version, reduce condensed milk or use a milk alternative.
• Add fresh mint for extra freshness.
