Our family LOVES this beverage.
Brazilian Limeade
4 – 6, limes
(little ones with smooth skin make the best limeade)
1 c.
sugar
6 c. cold
water
1/3 cup (FULL) sweetened condensed milk
Directions:
Blend
water and sugar in blender till sugar dissolves.
Wash limes
very well and cut in to eighths. {I soak them in a big bowl of water with a cup of white vinegar for 10 min or so. They are squeaky clean!)
Place 1/2
of the cut-up limes in your blender with 2-3 cups of the sugar water. Pulse a few
times to beat up the limes. DO NOT
puree them. They will still be
very chunky. {If you do this too
much your drink will be bitter and gross.} Pour the above through a strainer into your serving pitcher. Use a spoon to “juice” the limes,
but don’t press too hard. Repeat with the remaining
limes. Add any remaining sugar
water to the pitcher.
Add sweetened
condensed milk. Stir well.
At serving time, serve over
lots of crushed ice. (We like Sonic ice.... :) Who doesn't?
This does
not keep well, so don’t make too far ahead of time. A couple of hours is fine, but not a day ahead....
Makes 4-6
servings.
