Description
A refreshing and tangy Brazilian Lemonade made with fresh limes, sweetened condensed coconut milk, and maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 fresh limes, wash before using
- 6 cups water (1 qt)
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey (60g)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed coconut milk (120ml)
- ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Cut each lime into about 8 pieces then add the lime wedges (with the peel) to a large blender.
- Add water, sweetener and condensed milk. Cover blender and pulse to combine. Blend no more than 10 seconds. The longer you blend the more bitter the flavor will be.
- Place a large, fine mesh strainer over a large pitcher or bowl, then pour the blended mixture through the strainer to filter out the solid pieces. Discard the leftover lime bits.
- Taste and sweeten the mixture as needed. Brazilian Lemonade is naturally a bit bitter and tart. You can reduce the bitterness by adding more sugar or condensed milk.
- Pour into glasses filled with ice. Serve garnished with fresh lime slices and enjoy.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness according to your taste preference.
- For a less bitter flavor, avoid over-blending.
