Scale
Ingredients
- 5 fresh limes
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups water
- Ice as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Limes: Slice 4 of the limes into 8 wedges each. These will be blended to extract maximum flavor without making the drink bitter.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the lime wedges, 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 4 cups of water in a blender. Blend for no more than 15 seconds to avoid extracting bitterness from the lime rinds.
- Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher filled with ice to remove solid bits and achieve a smooth texture.
- Add Lime Juice: Slice the remaining lime in half and squeeze its juice into the pitcher for an extra punch of fresh lime flavor.
- Serve: Stir the limeade well and serve immediately chilled over ice. Enjoy this refreshing Brazilian classic!
Notes
- You can adjust sweetness by adding more sweetened condensed milk or sugar if desired.
- If the lime flavor is too strong, increase the water slightly to dilute, keeping in mind that melting ice will also dilute the drink.
