Brazilian Lemonade recipe

Brazilian lemons look and taste more like common limes, so this lemonade recipe does not call for lemons. The touch of sweetened condensed milk gives this drink a rich, subtle creaminess while the blender creates a frothy finish.

Brazilian Lemonade recipe

 This refreshing cooler, ideal on a hot summer day, is best served immediately as it becomes bitter tasting when made ahead of time.

4 fresh limes, washed thoroughly
6 cups water, divided
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/2 cup NESTLE CARNATION Sweetened Condensed
    Milk, divided
14 ice cubes (1 tray), divided, plus more for serving

Cut off ends of each lime and cut each into 8 wedges. Place 16 wedges, 3 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk and 7 ice cubes in blender. Cover; blend for 20 seconds. (Blending longer will cause drink to become bitter.) Strain through a fine mesh strainer into pitcher to remove rinds. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Best served immediately over ice cubes or crushed ice.
