Brazilian-style lemonade
- Portion size: Serves 6-8
- Hands-on time 10 min, plus 30 min infusing
- Difficulty: easy
Inspired by Brazilian lemonade, which is made by whizzing up limes with condensed milk, our take has a bit more body to make it delightfully creamy, with added lemon and mint to keep it really refreshing.
This is a brilliant non-alcoholic drink for garden sipping – although a splash of gin does turn it into a great cocktail.
Try our raspberry lemonade with pink peppercorns next.

Method
- Top and tail the limes, then cut each one into 8 wedges. Transfer to a blender with the condensed milk, mint leaves and 1.2 litres water. Pulse about 5 times until the limes have broken down but aren’t fully blended (the longer you blend, the more bitter the drink will taste). Stir in the lemon juice, then set aside for 30 minutes to infuse.
- Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a large jug. To serve, bash some extra mint leaves, then put in a glass with slices of lime and plenty of ice. Pour in the lemonade.
