Brazilian lemonade is a delicious and refreshing limeade that is a great way to cool down in the summer!
Have you ever tried brazilian lemonade? Its a tangy sweet drink that is actually made with limes and not lemons.
If you’ve ever been to Tucano’s restaurant, they serve brazilian lemonade and it tastes just like this!
Its an amazing refreshing drink made with whole limes, water, sugar and sweetened condensed milk. I know that might sound like a strange combination, of the sweetened condensed milk is actually the secret ingredient. You’ll blend the limes, water and sugar for just a couple minutes to get the juice from the limes and the oils from their rinds too. Add in the condensed milk and your remaining water and voila – drink up!
This is such a fun summer time drink, perfect for serving alongside dinner, or at an outdoor barbecue!
