Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 limes, thoroughly washed
- 3 cups water
- 2 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup ice
- ½ cup sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Limes: Thoroughly wash the limes with soap and water, then dry them. Cut each lime into 4 wedges and place them into a high-speed blender along with 3 cups of water. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Strain Lime Mixture: Using a wire strainer, pour the blended lime mixture into a clean container, carefully pressing to extract all the juice but discarding the lime rinds and any leftover pulp. The resulting lime liquid should be smooth without chunks.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the strained lime water back into the blender. Add the strawberries, ice, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar to the blender. Blend all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Pour the Brazilian Strawberry Limeade into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best fresh taste.
Notes
- Use fresh limes for best flavor, but frozen strawberries work well if fresh are not available.
- Adjust sugar quantity to taste, especially if your strawberries are very sweet.
- Ensure to strain the lime mixture well to avoid bitterness from the rind.
- The drink is best consumed immediately to enjoy freshness and optimal texture.
