Brazilian Lemonade

Brazilian Lemonade

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Today's my li'l sister's sweet 16 birthday. To commemorate, we had a small bash at my parents house. While there, my sister busted out this recipe. It was fan-freaking-tastic!!


It's really basic, and really easy too. My favorite combos. Sweetened condensed milk, 1 large lime, sugar, and water.

That's it my friends!


Chop up the lime, and put it in the blender. Yup, skin and everything. Don't worry, we'll strain it later.


Add 1/2 cup sugar, and 2-3 Tbsps of sweetened condensed milk. Then add 3 cups of water.


Blend everything together! it's pretty neat to look at I thought, all the lime chunks flying around. . .but maybe I'm just a little odd that way.


Strain it into a pitcher. See? I told you we'd get rid of all those chunks.


This is two batches. I think one batch pretty much only makes enough for two people. We ended up making three. Then we ran out of limes. . . .


There's a lot of juice still in here! All that frothy goodness, you want to get that in there!!


so take your spoon and press it all out. Yum. and feel free to do something with that lime skin. No, I'm sorry, I don't know what you can do with them.


Pour it over some crushed ice, garish with some lime slices, if your a garnish type of person. I'm not, sorry.

But my little brother is:


he's an odd child, that boy, but a darn good cook!! :)
