Continuing with my lime addiction, I knew I had to post this Brazilian Lemonade. Don't be fooled by the name, it's made with limes & it is so refreshing, sweet, citrusy, & creamy! When I go to Tucanos (Brazilian Grill) I like to get this b/c it comes with unlimited refills & I definitely drink up my share! This is a must try!
Brazilian Lemonade
Recipe from Our Best Bites & adored by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)
- 6 cups cold water
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 juicy limes (thin, smooth skins are juiciest)
- 6 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- Mix cold water & sugar. Chill until ready to use.
- Wash limes with hand soap to get the wax & pesticides off. Cut off ends & then cut each lime into eighths.
- Place half the limes, & half the water/sugar mixture in a blender. Pulse 5x. Strain into pitcher with a fine mesh strainer. Dump pulp in trash. Repeat with other half of limes & water/sugar mixture. Taste test & add more sugar if it's bitter at all. (If you have a Ninja with the 9 cup pitcher, like I do, you can pulse it all at once.)
- Add condensed milk right before serving. Stir & enjoy. (Don't make ahead of time, it doesn't keep well.)
I love Brazillian Lemonade- My husband lived in Brazil for a few years, so he always wants me to make this. Thanks so much for linking up another great recipe!
ReplyDeleteI assume that what you mean by not making ahead is adding the condensed milk. The lime juice and sugar water should be fine making ahead..right? Not using limes much, I don't know how they keep or do when they are 'out of their skins' ! Let me know ! I'd like to try this, especially since we have some Brazilian friends and I'd like to make this for them !
ReplyDeleteDenise,
DeleteYes, I guess I should be more clear. You can make everything ahead of time, just add the sweetened condensed milk right before serving. Now that it is warming up here in Utah, I think I better get to making more of this! My favorite!
