Brazilian Lemonade Brazilian Limeade Food

BRAZILIAN LEMONADE RECIPE (LIMEADE)

Steps:

• To start, wash limes, scrubbing well, to remove dirt, outer wax, and pesticides.
• Then, cut limes into 1/8ths or thin wedges. Place them in a blender or food processor with ice water, sugar, and ice cubes.
• Blend quickly (pulse about 5 to 7 times). If you blend for longer, this will make your lemonade bitter!
• Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and press the lime pulp gently to release its extra juice. Discard the limes skins and pulps!
• Serve Brazilian lemonade in a pitcher with lots of ice and lime wedges. If you want to, stir in condensed milk to make a sweeter and creamy lemonade. It's up to you! To make it dairy-free, replace it with coconut milk.
• For a variation of the recipe, you may add fresh mint leaves and blend with the other ingredients. For an alcoholic version, stir in some cachaça, vodka, or white rum.
• Brazilian limeade is meant to be consumed immediately because it has the tendency to get bitter over time. But if you have leftovers, you may store them covered in the fridge for up to one day. Make sure to add extra sugar and stir well before drinking leftovers.
• Some freeze this classic Brazilian drink in popsicle molds but I find it to be bitter!
