Ingredients
- 6 cups cold water
- 5 limes, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (or more to taste)
- Ice for serving
Instructions
- Blend Lime Mixture: Into a blender, add the cold water, lime wedges (whole with skin), and granulated sugar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the lime wedges are thoroughly blended.
- Strain Mixture: Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the blender contents into the strainer. Catch the liquid in the bowl below while discarding the lime pulp, zest, and skin left in the strainer.
- Prepare Blender: Rinse out the blender to remove any residue. Pour the strained lime-water mixture back into the blender.
- Add Condensed Milk: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the strained lime mixture in the blender.
- Blend Again: Blend the mixture again until smooth and frothy.
- Serve: Fill glasses with ice and pour the Brazilian lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh lime slices if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use filtered or purified water for best taste.
- Do not juice the limes before blending; blend the entire wedges and strain out solids afterward.
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to your preferred level of sweetness and creaminess.
- The drink is best served immediately for optimal freshness.
