Brazilian Limeade
Ingredients:
4 fresh limes, washed and scrubbed
6 cups water
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
—
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Limes:
Thoroughly wash the limes by scrubbing their skin to remove any wax or residue. Cut off the ends, then slice each lime into eighths.
2. Blend in Batches:
Add half of the limes, water, and sugar to a blender. Pulse 5-7 times (don’t overblend to avoid bitterness).
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing the pulp with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
Repeat with the remaining limes, water, and sugar.
3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk:
Mix in the sweetened condensed milk until it blends smoothly with the limeade.
4. Serve:
Pour over lots of ice and garnish with thin lime slices. Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or condensed milk if needed.
Enjoy this creamy, refreshing Brazilian classic!
