Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 fresh limes
- 3 cups cold water
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups ice
Instructions
- Prepare the limes: Wash the limes thoroughly and chop each lime into about 8 pieces to make blending easier and extract maximum flavor.
- Blend mixture: In a blender, combine the chopped limes, cold water, and sweetened condensed milk. Blend for a few minutes until the mixture is as smooth as possible.
- Strain the juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine strainer or sieve to remove the solid bits and extract the smooth limeade liquid.
- Serve over ice: Pour the strained limeade over the ice cubes in glasses to keep it chilled and ready to serve immediately.
Notes
- Brazilian limeade is best enjoyed fresh and does not keep well over time.
- If you have leftovers, consider freezing the limeade into popsicles for a refreshing frozen treat.
- If the drink is too sour or bitter, add more sweetened condensed milk or make simple syrup by dissolving equal parts granulated sugar and water, then chill before adding.
