Why You’ll Love Brazilian Lemonade
It takes just 3 simple ingredients to make this sensational Brazilian Lemonade, which will have you doing the 💃 samba after one sip. This drink is zesty and sweet, making it the perfect thirst-quencher for hot days. The balance of tart limes with the rich sweetened condensed milk creates a frothy treat that’s incredibly refreshing and flavorful. Plus, it’s versatile: you can enjoy it as is, add a splash of your favorite liquor to make it into a cocktail, or add some bubbly water for some 🫧 fizz.
How to Prepare
🍋🟩 Use a zester to zest 2 limes and reserve. 🔪 Now, using a paring knife, remove the peels and pith (the white coating between the lime flesh and peel) from 4 limes. 💧 Add the peeled limes to a blender with cold water and then blend for 20 to 30 seconds. 👩🍳 Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the blended liquid through the strainer. 🧊 Pour the strained liquid back into the blender with ice, the reserved lime zest, and the sweetened condensed milk. Blend again until frothy. 😋 Enjoy with extra ice and if you’re in the mood, you can absolutely add a splash of your favorite alcohol too.
