Welcome to your new favorite drink for a hot summer day. This tart and creamy drink is popular in Brazil, and even though it's called lemonade it's typically made with limes. It tastes fantastic as is, and if you add a shot of rum (or cachaca) it's a match made in heaven. I found this on NY Times Cooking.
Ingredients
- 4 limes, scrubbed and washed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- Half of a 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups cold water
- 4 cups ice, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Cut off and discard the tips of the limes, then cut the limes in quarters.
- In the blender, pulse limes, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, water and ice in a blender 5 to 8 times until the ingredients are just combined. You’re looking to extract flavor from the limes, but not to pulverize them, which can make the drink too bitter. Pieces of lime rind will still be visible.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher. Use the back of a spoon to push out as much liquid as possible; discard the solids.
- Divide among tall, ice-filled glasses, garnish with lime wedges, and serve immediately.
Serves 4-6.
