Swiss Lemonade

Swiss Lemonade (Limonada Suíça) is what we call it in Bra(s)il. Yes, it's brazilian, but called swiss. Go figure.

For your weekend | Try it!

4 limes
condensed milk
3 cups of cold water
ice
1) Cut off the ends of the limes and then cut them in quarters. Make sure to cut off the white parts inside.
2) Blend the limes, condensed milk (I like to add half a can - but that's up to you. It gets thicker and sweeter the more you add in.), and 1 cup of water.
3) Pour the liquid through a strainer into a pitcher. Press the pulp with spoon to get the most out of it. Keep the pulp.
4) Pour the liquid back into the blender and add 2 cups of water. Blend!
5) Pour the lemonade over ice into serving cups. Sprinkle a bit of the pulp and ta-da! You made a delicious, refreshing brazilian swiss lemonade!
Enjoy. Have a nice weekend!
