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!
