Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups cold water: The base of the drink providing the necessary liquid to blend with other ingredients.
  • 5 limes cut into wedges: The main star that gives this drink its signature tartness and flavor.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar: Sweetens the drink balancing the acidity of the limes for a harmonious flavor.
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk or more to taste: Adds a creamy richness that elevates the drink, making it refreshing yet indulgent.
  • Ice for serving: Essential for chilling the drink making it even more refreshing on a hot day.

Method
 

  1. Into a blender, add 6 cups of cold water, 5 lime wedges, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Blend on high until smooth, ensuring that the lime wedges are well-blended.
  2. Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the blender contents into the strainer, making sure to collect the liquid in the bowl below.
  3. Discard the lime pulp and pieces remaining in the strainer. This step ensures a smooth drink without any chunky texture.
  4. Rinse out the blender to avoid any pulp residue. Pour the strained lime juice mixture (from the bowl) back into the blender. Add 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk.
  5. Blend again on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy, creating a luscious texture.
  6. Fill a glass with ice and pour the Brazilian lemonade over top. Garnish with slices of fresh lime for a beautiful presentation.
