Brazilian Lemonade
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.
This refreshing cooler, ideal on a hot summer day, is best served immediately as it becomes bitter tasting when made ahead of time.
This is best served immediately over ice cubes or crushed ice.
Ingredients
- 4 fresh limes, washed thoroughly
- 6 cups water, divided
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup Nestlé® Carnation Sweetened Condensed Milk, divided
- 14 ice cubes (1 tray), divided, + more for serving
Instructions
- 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 a pitcher to remove rinds.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients.
