Description
A sweet and creamy Strawberry Brazilian Lemonade blending fresh limes, juicy strawberries, and sweetened condensed milk for a vibrant, fruity summer drink.
Ingredients
3 medium limes, washed and quartered
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
4 cups cold water
1/2 can (7 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
1. Add the quartered limes and cold water to a blender.
2. Pulse the mixture for 10 to 15 seconds to extract the lime juice without making it bitter.
3. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher and discard the leftover lime solids.
4. Return the strained lime water to the blender.
5. Add the strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and ice cubes.
6. Blend on high until smooth, frothy, and beautifully pink, then serve immediately in chilled glasses.
Notes
Do not over-blend the limes in the first step, or the white pith will turn the drink bitter.
Using frozen strawberries will give the lemonade a thicker, frostier slushie-like texture.
For a dairy-free version, substitute sweetened condensed coconut milk.
Serve immediately over ice, as the drink can separate and turn bitter if stored.
