How to make the Perfect Brazilian Lemonade | Limonada Suíça

Wash the limes thoroughly.

Cut the ends off 3 limes and cut them into fourths.

Trim off the pith of the limes to eliminate bitterness.

Cut the limes in half again.

Add the limes to a blender with 4 cups of drinking water.

Blend for 15-20 seconds or pulse a few times.

Strain the mixture meticulously to remove bits and pieces.

Rinse the blender quickly and strain the liquid a second time for a silky smooth texture.

Add 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk to the strained liquid.

Optionally add 2 oz of Torani lime syrup for extra flavor.

Add 2 1/2 cups of ice and blend until smooth and creamy.

In a small bowl, add monk fruit blend (or regular sugar) for rimming the glass.

Cut slices off the 4th lime and zest the remainder into the bowl.

Rim a glass with lime and dip it into the sugar and lime zest mixture.

Pour in some ice and enhance visual appeal with lime slices before layering on more ice.

Pour the Brazilian lemonade into the glass.

Garnish with small pieces of lime and sprinkle some lime zest on top.

Serve immediately for best taste, or store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
