Description
Creamy, tangy, and refreshing, Brazilian Lemonade (also known as Limonada Suíça) is a delicious twist on traditional lemonade. Made with whole limes, sweetened condensed milk, and ice, this summertime drink is as easy as it is addictive.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fresh limes, washed and quartered
- 4 cups cold water
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Blend: In a blender, combine quartered limes, water, sweetened condensed milk, sugar (if using), and ice. Blend for 10–15 seconds—do not overblend to avoid bitterness from lime rinds.
- Strain: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove pulp and rind.
- Serve: Serve immediately over ice and enjoy the creamy citrusy flavor!
Notes
Use the limes with thin skin for better flavor and less bitterness. Drink immediately for the best taste—this drink doesn’t store well. For a dairy-free version, substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk.
