Brazilian Limeade

The warmth found on Brazilian shores is where this Limonada Suíça - Brazilian Limeade stems from for easy drink that comes together in 10 minutes flat for a refreshing way to serve up limes.

Ingredients and substitutions for Brazilian Limeade

• Limes: If you can source the traditional Tahiti lime that would most likely be used in this recipe in Brazil, they are best. Though Bearss or Persian limes are also great as they are a medium size.
• Sweetened condensed milk: Full fat condensed milk doesn’t just add sweetness but also helps balance out the flavors in the limeade.
• Sugar: Superfine or caster sugar dissolves quickest and works best to sweeten, without adding too much flavor. You could replace with white or even raw sugar, if you prefer.

Notes

• Sweetened condensed milk: Full fat condensed milk doesn’t just add sweetness but also helps balance out the flavors in the limeade.
• Sugar: Superfine or caster sugar dissolves quickest and works best to sweeten, without adding too much flavor. You could replace with white or even raw sugar, if you prefer.
• Clean limes: Because the limes are blended whole, they need to be really clean and ideally organic.
