Brazilian Lemonade One Cup at a Time July 29, 2011

I love the uniqueness of Brazilian Lemonade, but to make a whole pitcher can be a bit much.  Authentic Brazilian Lemonade is made by pulsing the whole lime and then straining.  It does not store well, because it turns bitter the longer it sits.  Since I am the main drinker of this summery drink, it was a bit foolish of me to make a whole pitcher and then gorge myself on it.  So, I came up with a simple substitute that suits me just fine.

 

Brazilian Lemonade

2 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice (or from concentrate)

1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice (or from concentrate)

1 teaspoon sugar

2 Tablespoon sweetened condensed milk

10 ounces cold water

4 ice cubes

Add juices, sugar and sweetened condensed milk into a large glass.  Add half of the water and stir until well combined. Add remaining water and ice.  Garnish with fresh berries if desired.
