Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups cold water filtered is best
  • 5 fresh limes
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk or more to taste
  • q.s. ice for serving

Equipment

  • High-powered blender
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Large bowl or pitcher for straining
  • Measuring cups
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Wash the limes well and cut them into wedges, leaving the skin on.
  2. Add the cold water, lime wedges, and sugar to a high-powered blender and blend on high until smooth.
  3. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl or pitcher, and strain the blended mixture to remove pulp and seeds, pressing gently to extract all the liquid.
  4. Rinse the blender, then pour the strained lime juice back in and add the sweetened condensed milk. Blend again on high for about 30 seconds until frothy and creamy.
  5. Fill glasses with ice and pour the Brazilian lemonade over the ice. Garnish with a lime slice if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Use very cold water and serve over lots of ice for the best experience. Chill the glasses for an extra refreshing treat. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less condensed milk according to your taste preference. This is best enjoyed fresh, as the frothy texture will settle over time. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but stir well before serving as the ingredients may separate. Don't skip the straining step to avoid bitterness from the pulp and peel bits.
