Brazilian lemonade is a quick drink that is good for serving at parties during hot weather. Brazilian lemonade tastes creamy, sweet, and tart. Four ingredients are required to make Brazilian lemonade quickly in a blender. You can control the sweetness of the lemonade. Freshly made Brazilian lemonade tastes best when served immediately. Preparing other ingredients ahead of time can save preparation time for the lemonade.
Ingredients for this beverage include limes, water, white sugar, and sweetened condensed milk for a creamy lemonade beverage. Blending whole limes helps extract their flavors. Straining the blended limes removes bitterness from the peel. Sweetened condensed milk adds flavor and creaminess to this beverage beyond that of standard lemonade.
When making lemonade, look for no bits of lime in your finished product to confirm that you've made lemonade successfully. A common difficulty with this recipe is failure to strain properly, which can cause peel or other pieces to end up in the lemonade. Tips to prevent this problem include straining the lemonade through a mesh strainer before serving to enhance flavor.
Serve Brazilian Lemonade cold with ice to enjoy your drink. Freshly made Brazilian Lemonade is the best choice. Otherwise, you can store leftover Brazilian Lemonade in a sealed container. Be aware that refrigeration changes the texture of Brazilian Lemonade and shortens its shelf life.
