A delightful tropical treat that combines the tartness of fresh lime juice with the rich sweetness of sweetened condensed milk, creating an incredibly smooth and creamy texture.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 medium limes (fresh lime juice)
1 cup of water (for blending)
1 cup of cold water (for dilution)
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Ice cubes (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Begin by washing the limes thoroughly under running water to remove any residues or pesticides. Cut each lime into quarters, removing any seeds you may encounter.
In a blender, combine the quartered limes, 1 cup of water, and sugar. Blend on high for approximately 30 seconds until the limes are completely pulverized.
Once blended, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, pressing down firmly to extract as much juice as possible.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the lime juice in the pitcher. Stir well until fully combined, ensuring there are no lumps remaining.
Pour in an additional cup of cold water to dilute the mixture to your preferred consistency. Stir once again to ensure it is well mixed.
Chill the creamy Brazilian lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the creamy lemonade over the ice, and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
