Brazilian Lemonade

I was at work the other day, when I get an email from Bryson. I opened it and there was a link to a website and a little note that said, "Tonight we're making these!" We LOVE Tucanos for this VERY reason...Brazilian Lemonades! I would go to Tucanos and pay $20 per person if ONLY to get a Brazilian Lemonade to go with it. They are seriously SO good! I was so excited that Bryson had found a recipe and we could pass on the expensive (but delicious) meal and make the delicious lemonade at home! It ended up being very easy to make...and they taste exactly like the ones at Tucanos. SO...if you are craving an amazing drink, go buy some limes and sweetened condensed milk and enjoy!! :)

Brazilian Lemonade

4 juicy limes (not key limes)
1 cup of sugar
6 cup of cold water
6 Tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk

Mix cold water and sugar and chill until ready to use. We did this ahead of time.

Wash limes and then cut each lime into 8ths. Place 1/2 of the limes in your blender. Add 1/2 of the sugar water, place the lid on your blender, and pulse 5 times. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher (the one you'll serve the lemonade in) and pour the blended mixture through the strainer and into the pitcher. Use a spoon to press the rest of the liquid into the pitcher. Dump the pulp and stuff in the strainer into the trash. Repeat with remaining limes and sugar water. Add sweetened condensed milk.
Serve immediately over lots of ice.

ENJOY! :)
