Ingredients
- 4 limes (zested, then peeled with white pith removed)
- 3 cup water
- 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cup ice
Steps
- 1
Zest the limes and set the zest aside.
- 2
Cut the peel off the limes, ensuring you remove all of the spongy white pith, as this is the primary cause of bitterness.
- 3
Add the lime zest and the peeled lime flesh to a blender.
- 4
Add the water to the blender and blend for approximately 20 seconds.
- 5
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher or bowl to remove the solids, leaving only smooth, fresh juice.
- 6
Rinse the blender to remove any remaining pulp, then pour the strained juice back into the blender.
- 7
Add the ice and sweetened condensed milk to the blender.
- 8
Blend again for 20 to 30 seconds until the drink is frothy, sweet, and creamy.
- 9
Serve immediately over extra ice if desired.
Notes
Removing the white pith is essential for the 'bitter-free' result. Traditional Brazilian lemonade (Swiss Lemonade) often blends the whole fruit, but it must be consumed immediately to avoid bitterness; this method allows the drink to stay fresh longer.
