Equipment

  • Knife (to cut limes)
  • Citrus squeezer or reamer (optional, for juicing limes)
  • Blender or pitcher (for mixing)
  • Spoon for stirring
  • Glasses for serving

Ingredients
  

  • 2 limes
  • 3 cups water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Cut the limes into wedges.
    Bright green limes are sliced into equal-sized wedges on a clean white cutting board, placed over a white marble countertop. A sharp silver knife with a black handle is lying beside the limes. This preparation step is crucial to extract the maximum flavor from the limes before blending them for the Brazilian lemonade.
  • Add the lime wedges to a blender or pitcher.
    Freshly cut lime wedges are added to a transparent glass blender sitting on a clean white marble countertop. The bright green color of the limes contrasts beautifully with the glass. This step begins the blending process that transforms these natural citrus pieces into a refreshing, tangy base for the Brazilian lemonade recipe.
  • Pour in the water and blend or stir well.
    Cool, clear water is being poured from a glass measuring cup into a blender already filled with lime wedges. The water begins to surround the citrus pieces as preparation for blending begins. This step ensures the lime flavor infuses evenly into the liquid base for a well-balanced and fresh Brazilian lemonade.
  • Add sugar and sweetened condensed milk.
    Granulated white sugar and thick, creamy sweetened condensed milk are added into the blender already containing lime and water. These ingredients begin to dissolve, creating a beautifully sweet and tangy base for Brazilian lemonade. This step balances the sourness of the lime with a smooth and indulgent sweetness that defines the drink.
  • Blend or stir until sugar dissolves completely.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  • Fill glasses with ice cubes.
    Several clear glasses are neatly filled with fresh ice cubes, sitting atop a white marble countertop. The glasses are ready to receive the chilled Brazilian lemonade. This step is essential for serving the drink refreshingly cold and enhancing the overall experience of the creamy, citrusy beverage during hot or sunny weather.
  • Pour the Brazilian lemonade over the ice and serve immediately.
    The creamy Brazilian lemonade is poured from a transparent glass blender into the ice-filled glasses. The drink flows smoothly over the ice, creating a cool, refreshing final presentation. Lime pulp and frothy texture are visible, showcasing the freshness of the ingredients. This step completes the recipe, ready for immediate enjoyment.
