Brazilian Strawberry Lemonade

Brazilian lemonade is actually a limeade. It’s called lemonade, because in Brazil, limes are known as the “Tahitian lemon.”

In Brazil, however, to order this drink at a restaurant, you’d need to ask for “Swiss lemonade.” It’s known as “Swiss lemonade” because many years ago, sweetened condensed milk--one of the main ingredients, used to be imported to Brazil from Switzerland.

However you choose to call it, “limonada suica” is a delicious, creamy, tart twist on traditional lemonade.

Ingredients:

1. 5-6 limes

2. 12-15 strawberries

3. 1 can of sweetened condensed milk

4. 6 cups of water

5. Ice cubes

Instructions:

1. Cut up limes in 4ths or 8ths

2. Remove strawberry stems

3. Reserve 2-3 strawberries and slice in pieces

4. Blend limes and the rest of the whole strawberries with water

5. Strain blended mixture

6. Blend strained water with the can of sweetened condensed milk

7. Serve on a cup with ice and strawberry pieces

Enjoy!
