Homemade Recipe: Brazilian Lemonade

An anonymous commenter recently asked me to post Peach House's recipe for Brazilian Lemonade which, having never worked there, I didn't know. So I did the next best thing... I made a recipe up based on some online research! It's actually a limeade so the name is a bit of a misnomer.

Without further ado, my recipe for Brazilian Lemonade:

You'll need:

Water
Ice
A Small Lime
Condensed Milk
Sugar

For a cup (8 oz.) of Brazilian lemonade, take about a 1/4 cup of water and stir in 2 teaspoons of condensed milk until dissolved. It should look a bit like watered down milk because... well, that's basically what it is. Add 2 teaspoon of sugar and stir until dissolved. Squeeze half a small lime in the liquid and stir a bit more. Add a 1/4 cup of cold water and a 1/4 cup of ice. Stir until frosty, garnish with a couple of thin lime slices, and drink up! Feel free to adjust the amounts to suit your own tastes.

P.S. Don't make more than you and/or your guests are going to drink; Brazilian Lemonade doesn't keep very well.
