How to Make Brazilian Lemonade

Wash the limes under warm water to remove any wax or pesticides.

Cut off the ends of the limes and cut each lime into eight pieces.

Look for juicy limes that you can squeeze slightly.

In a blender, add half of the sugar (1/2 cup), half of the water (3 cups), and half of the cut limes (2 limes).

Pulse the blender 5 to 7 times to break up the limes without making the lemonade bitter.

Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or sieve into a pitcher, using the back of a spoon to press and extract as much juice as possible.

Repeat the pulsing and straining process with the remaining ingredients (the other half of the sugar, water, and limes).

Add 6 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk to the strained lime juice and stir to combine.

Add a lot of ice to the pitcher and garnish with additional lime slices for presentation.

Serve in glasses with straws, optionally garnishing with thin lime discs on the edges.
