Brazillian Lemonade


A friend of mine worked for Tucanos and let me in on their secret awesome juice, the Brazillian lemonade. Getting the juice out of the lime is the key. If you overdo it, you won't like this recipe at all. So when you put it in your blender, be sure to stand right next to your blender and just give it a few pushes. Maybe 5 or 6 pushes is all you need. Don't over blend or it will be bitter. Enjoy!


Ingredients

  • 3 limes, quartered
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 4-5 cups cold water, depending on the sweetness you want

Preparation

To get ready, set out your strainer (fine mesh) and place it over a pitcher. Place all the ingredients in a blender. Add 2 cups cold water and blend on high speed until limes are slightly chopped, then add the other remaining 2 cups of water. Stir well with spoon and strain into a pitcher using a small hole strainer. The smaller hole the strainer the better. If you like, add soda water or sprite!
