Brazilian Lemonade
Brazilian Lemonade is a creamy, tangy, and refreshing drink made with whole fresh limes, cold water, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Blending the whole lime (peel included) gives it a bright, zesty flavor balanced by creamy sweetness. This unique lemonade is perfect for cooling off on hot days with its complex citrus notes and smooth texture.
