Brazilian Lemonade

Brazilian Lemonade

1 cup sugar 

6 cups cold water

4 juicy limes, thin skinned

6 Tb. sweetened condensed milk

1. Mix cold water and sugar very well and chill until ready to use. This can be done ahead.

2. Wash limes thoroughly with soap to get the wax and pesticides off because you're using the whole lime. Cut the ends off the limes and cut each lime into eighths.

3. Place half of the limes in blender. Add half of the sugar water, place the lid on blender and pulse 5 times.

4. Place a fine mesh strainer over a pitcher and pour the blended mixture through the strainer. Use a spoon to press the rest of the liquid into the pitcher. Dump the pulp and residue in the strainer into the trash. Repeat with remaining limes and sugar water.

5. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk.

6. Serve immediately over lots of ice.

This does not keep well, so while you can make the sugar water ahead and slice the limes, do not mix them in blender until you are ready to serve.
