Brazilian Lemonade (Limeade)

This limeade is not your average beverage. This tangy, creamy, refreshing drink is a dreamy way to cool down when the weather warms up. But it's delicious enough to serve all year long!

Ingredients

2 limes
3 cups (700ml) water
⅓ cup (60g) sugar
3-4 tablespoons (45-60ml) condensed milk
2 cups ice cubes plus more for serving

Instructions

Scrub the limes, then cut them into about 8 wedges.
Add limes, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, water, and ice to a blender.
Pulse 7-10 times (too much pulsing will extract too much of the pith and make it bitter).
Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove rinds and pith.
Pour into a chilled glass over ice. Enjoy!!!

Notes

Don't pulse the ingredients in the blender too much. If you do, it will take on a bitter taste. Remember, you'll strain out the rinds, so there's no need to completely process the lime wedges.
For a special touch, serve Brazilian lemonade in chilled glasses.
Don't want ice to water down the lemonade? Freeze some Brazilian lemonade in an ice tray and use the cubes to keep the drinks cold instead of regular ice.
