Brazilian Lemonade

Continuing with my lime addiction, I knew I had to post this Brazilian Lemonade.  Don't be fooled by the name, it's made with limes & it is so refreshing, sweet, citrusy, & creamy!  When I go to Tucanos (Brazilian Grill) I like to get this b/c it comes with unlimited refills & I definitely drink up my share!  This is a must try!

Brazilian Lemonade

Recipe from Our Best Bites & adored by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

• 6 cups cold water
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 juicy limes (thin, smooth skins are juiciest)
• 6 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk

1. Mix cold water & sugar.  Chill until ready to use.
2. Wash limes with hand soap to get the wax & pesticides off.  Cut off ends & then cut each lime into eighths.
3. Place half the limes, & half the water/sugar mixture in a blender.  Pulse 5x.  Strain into pitcher with a fine mesh strainer.  Dump pulp in trash.  Repeat with other half of limes & water/sugar mixture.  Taste test & add more sugar if it's bitter at all.  (If you have a Ninja with the 9 cup pitcher, like I do, you can pulse it all at once.)
4. Add condensed milk right before serving.  Stir & enjoy.  (Don't make ahead of time, it doesn't keep well.)
