Brazilian Lemonade

Ingredients
  

  • 8-12 Ripe Key Limes (washed and quartered)
  • 2-3 Ripe Key Limes (cut in half for squeezing)
  • 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 4 cups Water

Instructions
 

  • Add the quartered limes, sweetened condensed milk and water to a blender
  • Blend on high for 10-15 seconds (the longer you blend, the less sweet)
  • Fine mesh strain the mixture
  • Squeeze the juice from the remaining
  • Taste for bitterness, a little is perfect, too bitter and you should add more milk and/or lime juice
  • Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator

Notes

PRO TIP
You can review an authentic Brazilian Lemonade recipe below, and adjust for whatever size limes you have. Ripe and juicy limes will yield the best results for the proper sweetness. A typical American grocery store lime is 2-3 oz, while Key limes are around 1 oz each.
This recipe is amazing with whatever limes you can acquire.
